From Nike, Beat-Up Chic

Are you one of those sneakerheads that are in fear of dirting or killin’ your most coveted pair of shoes? Nike has a solution, a new collection of Nikes that look intentionally distressed is the new “white”. No two pairs of shoes would be identical, the shoes will be on sale for $220 at Comme des Garçons stores next week. And if that doesn’t fit your budget, a broader release of $120 styles will reach Barneys New York, Urban Outfitters and Scoop stores in July. I was actually at the CdG store on May 20th and saw the shoes in person, they do look real “beat-up” but in a nice way. Thanks to Mely for the tip.
