Another version of the Converse Chuck Taylor Hi has recently been released at Flauge. This pair features a snakeskin embossed fabric and some other nice details.
This sneaker comes in two colorways - the black version is accented by purple and the white edition by red. Though this much snakeskin is normally pretty flashy, these old school shoes are modern but still quite subtle. I’m a big fan of the Chuck Taylors and normally hate to see them get ruined by turning them mod, but I actually like this shoe, particularly in white.

Saucony has collaborated with DJ Hazime’s Japanese brand Double Hard to create this new version of the Saucony Courageous.
This shoe features bold, bright colors, such as blue, pink and yellow with touches of white and black. The black midsole and bright blue undersole provide the base for this very solid looking shoe.
One of the cool parts about these shoe is the tri-circular pattern featuring the blue peeking though the side stripe. But what I really love about this shoe is the use of the yellow. The yellow laces and heel are what make this sneaker very unique.
