Giuseppe Zanotti will debut a men’s footwear collection at Pitti Uomo next week in Florence. The new collection, Giuseppe Homme, is pure Zanotti: rhinestones, suede, silk velvet, gros grain trims, metal plates and Swarovski crystals. This is not a collection of classic men’s footwear but the velvet and patent leather sneakers are sure to be a hit.

Masterpiece is a hip and trendy brand that's considered nerdy street wear (think Pharel). Anyway they have some hot leopard print shorts that are sure to catch people's attention.

We love this fun colorful preppy statement brand.

Skora sneaker are great for wearing around town, on the beach or running, to the gym, to work, to yoga. They are super comfortable and light, and they feel like your floating or walking on clouds. They feel totally natural, almost like being barefoot, only better! And that is just what the designers intended.

Skora was founded by David Sypiewski, a well-funded entrepreneur and formerly injured runner.

His shoes, like so many of the new, minimalist running shoes crowding the market today, are based on the notion that humans were designed to run shoeless, and that most running shoes overcorrect the human foot’s natural ability to adjust and function. Rather than piling up more features, more support, more cushioning and more everything, the minimalist or natural shoe designers start from the bare foot and its inherent abilities.

Skora’s first two models are based on a last that is shaped like the natural arch, and they have no height drop from heel to toe. The mid-foot hits the ground first, not the heel as with most running shoes.

In addition to loving the look of the shoes and loving the amazing feeling of wearing them, we also love their branding. The website is easy to navigate and the entire brand works. We are definitely fans. - Bill Tikos
