Adidas Grand Slam - My Favourite School Sneakers Remixed & Re-released!

The Adidas Grand Slam. The shoe that got me hooked on trainers and particularly adidas' brand of round-toed coolness. I got some all white Grand Slams with white buttons the summer before I started high school and they're still one of my favourite sneaker styles ever. Simple tennis shoes, there's just something really easy and cool about them.

Later this week the adidas Originals Grand Slam - a reworking of the original design, most notably missing the 'Grand Slam' lettering from the side of the shoe - will be available again in this Olympic-themed gold colour way from Size? as part of their Adi-Archive collection.

Henry Holland per Superga - Free Smiles With Purchase!

I adore Henry Holland. He's the most lovely chap and always has such a sense of fun about everything he does - at the launch of his hot new House of Holland line for Italian plimsoll titans, Superga, last night he told me he'd had a LOT of fun doing this too. Like we couldn't tell... these cheery sneakers are practically smiling.

The leopard print pumps are top of my Spring/Summer wishlist but it's the next range for Autumn/Winter (previewed in the four images directly above) with the red furry ankle trimmed mids, zig zag platforms and the ultimate in cheeky retro tennis girl style pom pom shoes that are my absolute must haves.

Prices are a lot less than I'd expected at a totally reasonable £55-£70 a pair which kind of makes you think that maybe buying more than one pair is absolutely justifiable.
