Retro Kicks

High-tops can go great with any outfit, whether it be a suit, which is of course daring and following the possibility of looking stupid, or just regular jeans and a t-shirt. The good thing about High-tops is that they provide resistance to your foot during multi-directional movement and they go great with skinny jeans, which is pretty much my main reason for having such an affinity for them. Here are three high-tops for Spring 2007 from some of my favorite designers and labels such as Ann Demeulemeester, Marc Jacobs and Common Projects.
