Snob Essentials

Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2011

Marc Marc Marc. Stop teasing me with your mixed signals. Is it a sneaker? Is it a pump? Is it a saddle shoe? I don’t underst- wait- it’s.. both? (my world crumbles).

Very rarely have I seen sneaker-pump hybrids that I enjoy. I usually only see combos like these on the scary parts of town with more rubber on them than a cross trainer, but these flirt casual with dress and actually do it well. A lot of times these look amazing on the runway but then at home you feel like either you need to lose 50 pounds to recreate the look, or you’ve just dropped $1,000 dollars on another closet ornament. But the combination of the wood and the dark yellow is an instant classic. And the neutrals in the sneaker pump make it actually wear-able. You could wear these more then once, yes!  And on the off-chance that someone should swipe my purse, I will be able to chase them more comfortably.  Bonus.
