Todd Snyder x Seavees Sneakers: Things I Want

Todd Snyder is on a roll... each of his collections is better than the last, he had a collab at the Gap last year (creating the only pair of cargo pants I'd be willing to wear), and an upcoming partnership with athletic wear brand Champion.

So it's not a surprise that I want his latest release -- sneakers, produced with Seavees. The low sneaker (below) is covered in gray jersey, and I'm obsessed with the thick leather laces.
 

Evoking a bout in the boxing ring, I can easily see wearing these with khakis on a casual Friday, or for a ride in the park. Very cool -- and limited edition, so snatch them up now!

Things I Want: Saturday Surf NYC T-shirt

Ready for some wardrobe additions for summer? I am! And today I saw a fun t-shirt collection from Saturdays Surf NYC.

I think the worn and heathered look on the gray shirt is fantastic, and the simple lettering gets across the branding in a fun way.

This style comes in three colors (gray, red, and black) and there are other styles to choose from in the collection. Check them all out here (courtesty of Inven.tory): http://www.inventorynyc.com/saturdays-surf-nyc/141-surf-nyc-tee-grey.html.

Things I Want: Rubber shoes from Native

I came across these shoes yesterday, made out of EVA, designed by Native. I thought they were really cool -- a take on a casual lace up, but perforated, and made of rubber! They reminded me a little of the Band of Outsiders for Sperry shoes in rubber... although these seem more multi-functional.

There are multiple color options (red, blue, yellow) but I prefer the gray. I think it's a great Spring choice, paired with a bright t-shirt and some shorts.

Another great find by Highsnobiety, check out the full article (and more photos!) here: http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/02/11/native-springsummer-2010-jefferson/#more-94419

Things I Want: Sweatshirt from WeSC

I've long been a fan of WeSC, a label that melds skateboarding and snowboarding cultures, in a really fun and cool way. The apparel always has a great mix of some urban edge but with total wearability.

They've now teamed up with a graffiti artist to collaborate on a small collection. Perusing through the items, I really liked this sweatshirt! The design isn't overwhelming but adds a great touch to the item.

Things I Have: Alife Sneakers

Looking in my closet, I made a mental note that it was time to rotate in some new sneakers. My Hogans, which I love and wear constantly, are nearing the end of their life. And the rockin' blue espadrilles I bought in France this summer just don't work on a winter day.

Luckily I found some really fun (and comfortable) new kicks at Barney's... on sale and everything. They came with three pairs of laces -- gray (as seen here), aqua (to match the sole), and black. Fun!

I wore these every day during the Christmas holiday and I think they're fantastic.
