D&G Black And Camel Coloured Leather Hi-Tops

I don't know how I acquired the fascination for hi cut shoes. Especially hi-top sneakers. Perhaps I love the look of skinny jeans tucked into the hi-top sneakers, which is both practical for winter climates and yet look very cool. I think I got inspired by Dsquared2's tall boots look, but boots are sometimes too chunky and heavy to carry for travel. (I live in the tropics, so winter time means I have to travel!)

Check out this pair of D&G Hi-Tops in black distressed leather and camel coloured suede. I love the stripe detailing on the sides and the white sole. With this combination, you can match a lot of clothing colours, especially winter hues of browns, blacks and whites. Perfect! The black leather will also withstand winter dirt on the streets. So no worries about getting those shoes 'abused'. It looks padded so shoe comfort will not be an issue, will be excellent for shopping sprees:-P

I seriously do not need another pair of shoe. But who knows...when inspiration strikes, there is no telling if I might get them or not:-) Baked beans and shoes?:-P
