Last week I was really excited to show you the sneakers I designed from Aliveshoes. I’ve been really stoked to create my own pair of sneakers. To be perfectly honest, I’m not a big sneaker wearer but I do have a few pairs in my closet. However the chance to design my own pair meant that I could get something that was uniquely me.
I wanted a great looking shoe in muted tones. I opted for earth tones but with just a hint of color but nothing too flashy. That’s why I added the burgundy. I think this little subtle color makes this shoe a winner.
Now with the sneakers in hand, I set out to find some great looks to wear them with. Have you ever got an article of clothing and designed your whole look around it. That’s how I felt with my new sneakers. These Aliveshoes were the first things I grabbed as I planned a quick weekend getaway to Philadelphia.
It’s hard to believe that it’s the beginning of spring when last week we where facing icy cold conditions and snow. The weird thing is that the weather this winter has been so mild so the cold snap was kind of a surprise. That was the surprise that hit me as I tooled around the City of Brotherly Love.
Fortunately I have not packed away my chunky sweaters and grabbed one that was ideal for the artic blast the hit the city. I like a classic sweater with a little bit of character and I’m a big fan of cream. Think about contrast against your skin tone to make a piece a little more dramatic. While jeans would be an okay choice I found a great pair of corduroys that matched the strip in my shoe. How cool is that? And I took Philly by storm!

Hey I have my own shoe line an I just want to know how you got started with your own. My shoe got staff picked and I need 7 pre orders so that my shoe will go into production, but I am having trouble getting the word out about my shoe or getting people to buy them.
I wanted to design my own shoe so I just went for. I just keep marketing it every chance I get!
I just started with Aliveshoes.com. How instrumental has the company been in bringing your vision to life. Are they the real deal or a gag?….#imphilly2
Truthfully, I designed my shoes because I wanted a custom pair of shoes unique for me. I never really thought that they would be marketed for public sale. That being said the shoes are still listed on their website and if I really started to push, I might be able to sell a few pairs. The shoe quality is good and I was pleased how they turned out. So I say give it a try. Good luck!
Congrats!
Cool kicks!
Thanks so much!
