I absolutely love the simplicity of Raf Simons design. Very minimal and never too intricate, which leads to pleasant visual stimulation!

A preview of the Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010 footwear collection has recently surfaced and once again the highly influential high-end label did not disappoint. The collection consists of shoes that feature Raf Simons’ signature silhouette as well as others that incorporate unique design choices.

Mosdef for the occasion when you must get your Grown-Man on and step up your swagger….

Mr. Hare’s Barretto ($582) is a hybrid between a sandal and a dress shoe that was created for the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Its overall purpose was to give the well dressed individual a pair of shoes that can be worn during warmer weather conditions and it appears Mr. Hare has done just that. The Barretto has a cutout design with a buckle strap closure along the top and features leather and suede, which covers the middle portion of the shoe. Available at Oki-ni

HUF Footwear   Fall 2010   Snake Pack

If sneakers are representations of a person, these sneakers say, “I am suave, sophisticated, laid-back, with just that right tad of wildness that you can’t help but want to roll with me”. Since San Francisco’s HUF had announced its debut footwear line to launch this coming Fall, fans of the label’s simple yet eye-catching, energetic styles have been craning their necks and hoarding the web for more information about the footwear line. After introducing the Choice and the HUF 1 Hightop, the label has dropped images of a new pack from the upcoming season, the Snake Pack.

The Snake Pack features two seaker silhouettes, the low top and the high top. And in true HUF’s effortlessly cool fashion, the sneakers are kept simple in black and white, with a design twist added on the “H” logo. The “H” logo on the side is remixed in a snake-skin print leather, and on the low-tops these are kept tonal to add textural depth. But on the high-top, the label goes for something slightly more eye-catching with a tie-dye snake print. Just the right balance of restrain and feral, these are just right for the colder weather which calls for a tad of opulence.
