Levi’s Cords x Opening Ceremony Footwear

Posted on 13 March 2010 by ChristinaN

Opening Ceremony give us a closer look into the footwear collection which features a classic boot design. The limited edition shoe is being sold exclusively at Levi’s San Francisco and Opening Ceremony stores. Available in the collection are navy, white, and teal options. I think the design is very nice yet sleek, there’s not much going on but with the bold colors, there doesn’t have to be.

Forever 21 Cheetah Mix Woven Top

Posted on 12 March 2010 by ChristinaN

Forever 21 does it again ….. It can’t get any more fabulous than this cheetah printed top with blocks of varying design and a Racer-back as well as Scoop-neck. Okay, confession, so I decided to drop by the mall once again today, and I just so happened to run across this top, it’s very simple but oh so adorable ! But … best …. @ only $9.50, that’s a steal !!!!! I’m gonna probably pair this up with simple platform heels, leggings, chained necklaces and a leather motorcyle jacket, will show the outfit :) !

Air Jordan 6 “Oreo’s”

Posted on 11 March 2010 by ChristinaN

Arguably one of the better Air Jordan releases in sometime, the VI sees a new colorway, appropriately dubbed the “Oreo.” The kicks take on a mostly white base with clear out-sole’s detailing, black nubuck paneling, and splatter accents. A release is set for Saturday, March 20th. I’d have to say that I’m definitely really feeling these and when I first saw them I was like dayummmm ! Those are hott, the perfect name for the shoe, and it doesn’t help that oreo’s are my favorite cookies !

INTERVIEW X MORS FOOTWEAR

Posted on 09 March 2010 by ChristinaN

So I was able to find some time and steal Jonathan, the creative director and founder of Mor’s Footwear away from his busy, hectic schedule to introduce you guys to his line. Mor’s footwear is pretty rad, the shoe looks awesome yet very sleek and clean still with very high quality. Being able to find out of what’s to come for the next season actually has me psyched because Jonathan is extremely talented and capable of doing the unknown. Extremely friend guy with a creative eye.

1) What made you decide to use your last name for the footwear’s name ?

Well, the name is mors… (my name minus one ‘s’) which means ‘death’ in Latin and its an Island in Denmark too. It looks good on a shoe label as well… or maybe I’m an egomaniac.

2) What are your inspirations when it comes to designing your products ?

I take inspiration from all kinds of places… 80s sports stars, nature and vintage sci-fi are just a few.The important thing is to combine it all into a cohesive, stylish product.

3) Where are you based out of ?

London, UK

4) How did you get started ?

I started out as a footwear designer for adidas and designed for a few big sports and fashion brands before deciding to start out on my own.

5) So how long have you been in the game now ?

7 years

6) Where do you see your company in the next 5 years ?

Well respected and known for a high quality, well designed product.

7) If you could have a collabo with anyone, who would it be ?

Someone creative or known for quality, maybe an artist like Andy Warhol (yeah.. I know he’s dead).

8) Do you have a brand philosophy?

Creating high quality, stylish footwear with a fresh perspective.

9) What should we expect to see from you this fall ?

The fall range is really exciting. There’s elk suede premium runners, high top elk skin runners…Arctic fish skin sneakers too. All the leathers are sourced from the arctic, exclusive, tactile and rare.

10) What made you decide to go into the shoe industry rather than clothing?

I’ve always been into sneakers and I’m just doing what I love.

11) How do your shoes differ from other well crafted shoes?

Mostly in the kind of materials we use, I go to great lengths to make shoes in the highest quality, most interesting leathers there are (like arctic elk or fish skin). As the season’s progress, you’ll see mors stand out on its own more and more.

12) What’s an average day like for you as the company director?

Emails, emails, emails… sometimes I get to do some sketching too.
