| While the Supra mainline styles always have that skate connection, both with a rider and in terms of design and technology, the Non-Signature part of the collection takes a more lifestyle oriented approach. Silhouettes are slimmer, less padded and colors, as well as materials are also different. We are not sure yet, whether we should be excited about this development, for now something seems off with these styles, especially when brighter and more unusual colors are being used on them. |

Supra made a big splash a year ago, offering up an alternative style to the everyday skate shoe with the super-high tongues and ankle cuts. The upcoming Fall 2010 Collection is not too shabby either.
The brand puts out a strong offering from their heavy hitters, including the Skytop, Skytop II and Society, as well as their up and coming low top styles. A favorite of mine is the Bullet this season, which has a good balance in terms of design and colors. Let’s preview some models included in the collection. |
 |
| Bandit features a skate funtional “boot-inspired” midtop design, new lightweight cupsole and SupraFoam® midsole providing entire foot impact resistance, optimal shoe flex, and board feel. Made from suede and canvas Bandit is available in four colors. |
 |
| Another offer is Skytop that has vulcanized gum rubber outsole, extra heel protection molded into a comfortable high memory polyurethane insole. Full-length midsole is injected with SupraFoam® providing entire foot impact resistance, optimal shoe flex and board feel. The hoe also sports thin soft collar and tongue foam. |
 |
| And my favorite offer is Bullet. This low style sports shoe is perfect for young, confident and active men who love to stand out and be the first. Bullet features functional classic skate design and sports lightweight cupsole and signature SupraFoam® midsole. |

| If you like sports shoes, Supra Fall 2010 Collection is ideal for you. |

| Raf Simons is a Belgian fashion designer. He turned into a menswear designer after several years of self studying. Not everybody can boast of such patience and love to fashion as Raf has. At first, he worked with Walter Van Beirendonck in Paris, where he was exposed to the work of Martin Margiela and Jean-Paul Gaultier. |
 |
| Every collection presented by Raf Simons is super bold, youth and powerful. The latest footwear collection presented by the designer is not an exception. Look at the pictures below. Every shoe here is worth your attention. |
 |
| Fall – Winter 2010 shoe collection from Raf Simons is strongly influenced by youth culture albeit in an indirect way. The designer combines strongly cut classic items with baggy streetwear-influenced details. |
 |
| The result is unbelievable. Some people adore Raf Simons’ work, while others hate his every idea. The only thing is right, nobody will be different to the designer’s works. |
 |
| The shoe collection from Raf Simons was presented at the Paris show. It was a true sensation. With a variety of styles and color choices, the collection provides modern takes on the sneaker silhouette in both hi’s and low’s. Premium leathers, corduroys, and other textures appear throughout the collection, which goes heavy on straps over laces. |
 |
| The designer presents his collections twice a year, usually in Paris, but works and lives in Antwerp, Belgium. In his early years, his runway shows were unconventional: models running down a street or walking in a parking lot, on a bridge, around a photography studio. Now the location has changed, but not the approach of the designer. |
 |
The new footwear collection from Raf Simons is nothing but bold and solid colored desgined footwear. The high top shoes have great features on the sides and strong materials this collection.
In New York Raf Simons’ items are available at Barneys and Seven. There are also a variety of locations around the world. |

| Summer is pretty close to us now. Now as we are living the last days of spring, it is high time to think about what footwear we need for a season to come. Picnics, outings, walking in the evening require an appropriate pair of shoes. Here I have prepared for you a list of the best shoes for comfy and active summer leisure. |
| • And the choice number one is sandals. It is essential to have a pair of sandals for summer in your wardrobe. Among multiple advantages of this footwear I can call, for example, that they maintain the foot beautiful, are easy to clean them up and very comfortable. |
 |
| • Fitness Footwear is at the second position today. In fact, what can be more comfortable than sports shoes? They are designed on the basis of the latest technologies, all innovations and health issues are taken into account. They provide you with a perfect support, allow good airflow and will never cause hurt. |
 |
| • Then goes walking footwear. That is a must have for every person. Such shoes are great for picnics, outings, jogging and so on and so forth. They are perfect for everything. Just be careful to choose a well constructed pair that is durable and prevent feet from sweating. |
 |
| • Canvas Shoes. The main advantage of canvas shoes is that they keep feet cool. Besides, they are very easy to care for, as they are machine washable. It is a perfect option especially after a picnic. |
 |
| • Jelly Sandals. That is also a perfect choice for a picnic. If you spill wine on jelly shoes, you do not need to worry about cleaning as jelly sandals are waterproof. That is as easy as a pie. |
 |
| • And the last in the list is Hiking Footwear. They have a lot of pros, such as durability, quality and comfort. But you should take into account that hiking shoes may result rather warm for a hot summer day. |

The number of shoe companies that produce running shoes is quite large, but at the same time we tend to trust only a limited number of them. I could list several reasons for it. Let’s start from the data of creation – as a rule the older brand is, the more popularity it gains. From the other side, each rule has an exception. So, sometimes a new made brand may result very successful due to its fresh view of the sector and progressive innovations. Secondly, if you buy a brand running shoe, you feel confidence about its quality and safety, because low quality sneakers are very dangerous for health, especially for those who do sports frequently and professionally.
According to all principles mentioned above I made a list of top 5 running shoe brands that have acquired a good reputation worldwide. |
 |
| 1. Adidas. A German company set up in 1948 has earned an incredible popularity due to implementation of new technologies in production. |
 |
| 2. Nike. Nike shoes is a famous American brand, the production of which is successfully sold all over the world. Nike presents first rate quality and safe design. |
 |
| 3. Reebok. It is a subsidiary company of Adidas. So, it was also set up in Germany. The new brand has turned into a real success whose fame can be compared with popularity of giant Adidas. |
 |
| 4. Converse. This is the running shoe brand that differs a lot from each other one. Converse sneakers became popular thanks to Chuck Taylor, and the rise coincided with basketball fever in the U.S. The most renowned running shoe of the brand is doubtlessly Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers. |
 |
| 5. Puma. The history of the brand has more than a half century history. The business managed to grow out of a small German retailer to a world known international corporation. Well, good reputation for a good product. High quality, latest technologies, safe constructions and modern designs make Puma even more beloved. |
