A short sign-of-life post. I've been galavanting around without my computer and have been neglecting blogging about recent and not-so-recent (but have yet to be worn) acquisitions of interest. Many more postings are ahead in the coming weeks.
I purchased these trainers in the Summer of 2010 at the Prada SOHO store, (which merits its own post at some point) and I have been searching ever since for the more widely-known ugly-beautiful orange and green version. Everything about these shoes works perfectly from a visual aesthetic perspective, which is an exception to the rule for Prada. I'm ambivalent about whether or not it's a good or a bad thing as proportions are all garment and shoe-specific. In the case of these trainers however, these mostly fly under the radar---unlike say, the Espadrilles whose soles came this very shoe. Suede, nylon, plastic, rubber, leather: these fetishistic components have been amalgamated in a wearable, classic shoe. Note, I almost bought them in sky-blue before settling on the modern grey and silver.
