Douchebag, If you disagree with my global warming viewpoint, why don't you present some evidence that humans are a factor. Oh, I'm sorry you can't since it's a big ******* lie.

I lol'd Would lol again. On topic, patent leather/suede mixes are generally what's "hot" right now, as well as different permutations of Nike Airforce 1-esque shapes. Raf Simons, Neil Barrett, Ann Demeulemeester and Lanvin are the accepted designer brands, though Ann to a lesser degree due to recent dips in quality. Really it's nothing that Yasuhiro Mihara hasn't been doing for years already. It's hard to put anything ahead of Common Projects at the moment in terms of hype, though - and it's for good reason. They're arguably the highest quality of any sneaker brand on the market, and go for half the price of most those designer sneakers. Even the people who hated them like mad on here are copping the Spring 08 ****. Matt I'm personally against the grey sneakers. They just never seem to look right for me. They just don't feel like they belong no matter how I wear them - chinos, jeans, whatever.

I rather liked the navy blue patent leather Common Projects from last season.

I got a pair of pure white Miharas with the patent leather in 04 I think. The problem with shoes like that is that they don't look good dirty. But it's definitely a completely different style from lanvins i think.

Who says common projects is the highest quality though? At the end of the day does quality even matter on sneakers since their soles wear quickly? I mean I never had a pair of nikes where the tongue ripped off before the sole got worn down.

The Spring 08 stuff is just insane. If you have 300 to blow look no further.
