I've no idea if it was deliberate or not but my fashion hero Marc Jacobs has concocted the most perfect Travel Fox tributes EVER.

These hidden-wedge soled colour blocked hi tops (above) were shown in his recent Spring Summer 2012 Marc by Marc Jacobs line show at New York Fashion Week. Aren't they totally like a fashion forward update on the cult 1990s Travel Fox trainers sported by the likes of Neneh Cherry and that model who fronted Black Box but turned out to be miming? Knackered old Travel Fox pictured below or you can find fresher pics on Flickr here. What do you think?

DeleteKewl, I've still got my black suede ones from 91', in great nick, just need to get some new inserts from some where, back heal edge of rubber sole is slightly worn though...wearable, just worn
ReplyDeleteTravel-fox, do you know where I can get a new sole which might fit, i.e. glue on, i.e. have you any NOS (New Old Stock) soles or samples lying in a store room somewhere!?
Nearest I have bought or Infact seen to these 'iconic' sneakers in all that time are these

They are great, but if you re-vitalised the old black suede foxes they would sell very well here, UK
