Cipher Seditionary Unboxing and Review

To make a long story short, I ended up corresponding via email with Collin Thompson, the designer behind Cipher, following my post about the Cipher 2010 footwear collection. He offered to send me some shoes to review, and I just couldn't turn that down. Anyway, fast forward to about a week ago, when FedEx leaves a note at our door about a package coming from Hong Kong. Mind you, I had no idea what it was, but chances are if an unidentified package is coming to you from Hong Kong, it must be something epic. Of course FedEx made me wait a whole entire day to find out what gifts The East had in store... and so my journey began...

Drykorn Summer 2010 Photo Shoot Video

I love the tone of this video. I think it matches with the overall persona of Drykorn. Once again Drykorn kills it with their 2010 men's summer collection. I loved what they did for summer 2009, and I'm feeling this latest installment as well. Check out the Drykorn site for the full gallery of men's and women's look.

Mean Shoe Game - Opening Ceremony Suede Weave Shoes

Opening Ceremony is making me want to trade the sneaker game for the shoe game. Who says growing up is hard to do? [Via Farfetch]

Take The Oath - Swear S/S 2010 Collection Preview

I posted about Swear shoes a little while back (See Swear London A/W 2009) . This time Swear has updated their blog with some whistle wetters for the new year, some hors d'oeuvres if you will. Their spring/summer collection launches next month, and so far I like what I see. I love their combinations of colors and textures. Contrast, both subtle and blatant. [Via Swear]

Deal Addiction - Black Fried Day Edition

Tomorrow, over here in the US of A, is a holiday called Thanksgiving where we eat turkey and go around the table lying about what we're thankful for. Never-mind that wretched holiday because the very next day is the annual consumer extravaganza known as Black Friday, where every store in America scratches and claws their way into your pockets by offering you deals that are much too good to be true. Lucky for you, we have compiled a list of real deals to help you spend the rest of your pay check for the week. Enjoy poverty! At least you'll look good.

Opening Ceremony - Two Tone Lace Up Bowler Shoes

Finally a reason to hit the lanes and show off my hop step bowling technique... but on the real, all suede everything is my motto when it comes to shoes, but contrast is key. Appreciate the navy suede with the chocolate leather after the jump. [Via Farfetch]

S***R - Swear London Shoes AW 2009

Swear Vinnie

I mean... footwear is my sole... sneakers... shoes... it doesn't matter. I saw a few of these for sale over at Farfetch... and... quite frankly, what makes me want to S***R is that I can't have every single pair of shoes that exists, just in case I decide to give them a one time walk-around. The folks at Swear London are not making it any easier. [Via Swear]

LD Tuttle Drifter Boot

I must admit these boots are kind of fly. I can tell that the leather is butter, and I like the subtle contrast in the leather between the collar and toe. Tie them, snap the straps, and zip them up... blissful overkill... It's like LD Tuttle wants you to put them on and keep them on. More pics in full post. [Via Oak]

Veronique Branquinho - A/W 2009 (Men's)

While flamboyant flashiness may be a mainstay in the repertoire of some, one does not always need 37 or even 15 pieces of flair to express oneself (see Office Space). Many occasions merit a simple, classy approach. I turn to Veronique Branquinho once again for a classic men's collection with just enough flair to keep your assistant manager happy. More pics in the full post.

Gucci Suede Mocassins

Awhile back I posted some plush Gucci loafers that you may want to check out if you like these. With Gucci, you already know what it is... Luxe... Anyway, I remember when I used to buy my pops a pair of those $20 indoor/outdoor moccasins for Christmas every year. The funny thing is that he really loved them, and would wear them everywhere even though they looked like house slippers. Maybe I'll get pops the Gucci's this time around... Red or Brown? More pics after the jump. Via Yoox
