Kris Van Assche F/W '09 High Top

Though many sneaker releases are slowing down as labels begin preparations for the fall/winter seasons, many contemporary and high fashion labels are beginning to straggle behind traditional sneaker brands such as Nike & Adidas. For Kris Van Assche's Fall/Winter collection for this year, an interesting high top sneaker has made it onto the scene. While it seems a little awkward at first glance, closer examination of this particular shoe presents an excellent silhouette that is perfectly proportioned, featuring smart eyelets usually found on hiking boots, and a nicely shaped toe box. As far as high tops go for the upcoming season, so far this makes my short list. (via High Snobiety)
