Alessandro Dell'Acqua 8731 high-tops - love at first site?..

Soooo, why haven't I seen these before? I thought I was on top of the hottest silver sneaks on the market - apparently Alessandro Dell'Acqua slipped right through the cracks. I can only describe the 8731's straight from AD'A's Fall/Winter 2007 show in 2 words: Seriously severe. Who doesn't love a flashy sneaker - that's what its all about. People better be on the prowl for these babies as they are pretty rare - and it shows.
(The 8731's are perfectly in sync with the models outfits.)

4 delicious colour schemes(Black, Silver, Red, Bronze) properly accommodate the complex design and practicality. The 2 trends nowadays for sneakers, especially high-tops, are either very minimal laces or none at all,as well as straps; the 8731's clearly speak to both trends making them a priority on my wishlist. The straps are unique as they're not velcro, but snap on - and each strap can adjust to make each section of the sneak tighter or looser - genius. The bold, thick, velcro strap up top is my favourite part as it let's people know you've arrived rockin Alessandro Dell'Acqua. The sneakers exterior is covered in leather and fabric which compliment each other very well, especially on the silver and bronze versions. The rubber sole is stamped "Alessandro Dell'Acqua" which adds that desired extra touch.


Ok now, let's get serious. The 8731's are pretty rare. I found some online for $300.00US but that price is ridiculously discounted. If you manage to find them (which you won't - but if you do msg me), be prepared to dish out the benjamins.
