Shmack 2008 Footwear Collection
Shmack footwear has been around for a little while now. Their high tops have developed quite a following, so this season they upped the number of hi’s in their collection.
Here are some of the top styles from the Shmack 2008 footwear collection, courtesy of High Snobiety.
My personal favorite is the red and black version above that has a plaid pattern in the front. Some of the other shoes are a little tacky, but there’s definitely something for everyone.

The other coloway features more laidback colors such as gray, light brown and dull silver. These shoes will definitely garner some attention from a variety of people.
