Marc Jacobs gives us options for S/S2009

If you don't know who Marc Jacobs is by now, you should probably crawl back under the hole where you've apparently been living. The only reason I say that is because I know way too many people who tell me they've never heard of him or "his name sounds familiar but I can't remember". Honestly, shame on you. For those of you who don't, Google him.

Back to business; A key staple in everyone's wardrobe is a fresh pair of whites, in which we can all concur. But, having a pair of whites with a bit of character makes a bolder statement. That's where Mr. Jacobs comes into play. For Spring/Summer 2009, he gives us a wide variety of sneakers that makes the common man salivate profusely. What caught my eye were the neutral coloured sneakers and the white pairs with some flare.Above, we see the uber light grey high-tops with that embossed solid-coloured checker pattern alongside a pair consisting of a white zig-zag pattern with pops of silver, which adds the flare we want. Below, this dynamic pair is covered with illustrations and phrases which makes a statement, while still keeping that idea of having fresh white shoes. All in all, Jacobs has provided us with alternatives to the plain white sneaker for summer. P.S. Do not play in mud, get them dirty, and call THAT a statement - now they are just plain dirty.
