pumped up kicks

It's evident that the fashion world can't get enough of the Isabel Marant Perkins Sneaker. I think they've debuted on about every fashion blog/site I read. Because these high-heeled kicks aren't the most budget-friendly, I wanted to point out two brands that could potentially substitute for this fashionable sneaker (even though nothing beats the original..). The top six tennies below are by Ash, and the bottom five silk screen high tops are by Be & D. The Be & D ones are kind of hilarious to me. In a way the remind me of the great Elsa Schiaparelli's "Bow Knot" sweater, who was the first to make 3D images 2D on her clothing (also take a look at her "Tear" Dress).
