I have to say these Soldier Is really have that locked down feeling – even with the strap hanging loose. The last time I was in China I wore this pair and was at a 7-11 (yes they have 7-11s but with totally different stuff – like seaweed wrapped rice / tuna triangles…. actually really good). As you could imagine it is difficult to communciate to most Chinese becaue not many of them speak English – a lot more probably speak Russian. Anyway – I was standing in line at this 7-11 with a seaweed triangle / mountain dew / and a Chinese magazine (non-porn) and this kid who was probably 13 was tugging on his mom’s elbow pointing at my shoes.

Glitzy sandals: Vyper by Report Welcome to the second installment of Shoeflyer’s exploration of fall shoe trends. Yesterday, we welcomed back booties. Today, we’re glitzin’ it up with ornaments.

Despite the beauty of the last Nancy Gonzalez bag that we reviewed, the combination of exotics and non-exotics didn’t exactly inspire all of our commenters. Using multiple materials is difficult to pull off, for sure, but what about using two exotics? Is the whole more than the sum of its parts? I think it is for the Nancy Gonzalez Python/Crocodile Tote . And just look at the end result… This may be one of my favorite Nancy Gonzalez bags of all time, which says a lot, given my penchant for exotics.

When Jordan Brand and Chris Paul went to China to promote his latest signature shoe the Jordan CP3.II we had shown you the Jordan CP3.II White/Black-Blue China Exclusive which had been said to be limited only to Chinese retailers. Since then we have learned the House of Hoops stores in the United States have received these as well. The Jordan CP3.II “China” features a mostly white upper with vibrant blue stitching. The heal of the shoe consists of an intricate black cushioned material while the panel on the heel has intricate detailed drawings in black, blue, and gold. You can see detailed pictures  here . How do you feel about Jordan switching things up and releasing them in the States as well?
