14 August 2007The Keds are alrightThis, however, is a tad weird: a patent-leather sneaker by Michael Kors. What's next? Chuck Taylors being upgraded to "Charles"? (Via Shoewawa.) Posted at 9:09 PM to Rag TradeMichael Kors is just following the big PL trend. Nike's been doing patent leather for a while now. :) Posted by: Gradual Dazzle at 9:41 AM on 15 August 2007As well as the aforementioned Chuck Taylors.

He was truly a great self-promoter, and he was also ahead of his time in promoting black athletes. His given name was in fact Charles. Posted by: triticale at 11:18 PM on 16 August 2007 |
