Introducing our first layered strap: black mesh over faux leather. Be ready when it drops, cause it’s sure to fly off the shelves quicker than the pantyhose of your local street corner lady of the night.
This week is all about textures – reflective, bubbly, weathered, grimy, mesh, snakeskin, messy textures. Derrick Rose currently finds himself in a bit of a mess. What better place to shoot this week’s #tuesdayshoesday Strap Hat x sneaker blog post featuring a pair of D. Rose 5’s than in a pile of rubbish lining the street?
The issue is bigger than Derrick Rose and rape charges. Professional athletes are viewed as role models and expected to meet a certain set of standards as a member of the NBA. I find it interesting that Rolling Stone had written an article about this topic last week, and actually removed it after it was published! The article was discussing the NBA and how they handle (or lack thereof) legal situations.
Reflection. Sometimes you have to look downwards in order to see upwards.
