New York

Dropping this week at Bloomingdale's, Oak, and the Jump boutique: 89 Spring St, between Broadway and Mercer

From a Taiwanese-cum-NYC brand, these just-dropped, large tongued high tops sport shiny and matte patent leather in a wide array of colors and patterns (flat black and grey, purple crinkle and croc, white, etc), all fashioned after a now-defunct, brightly-colored 80s kicks brand called Travel Fox -- long forgotten, but once ranked in the Fox pantheon right below Michael J., and just above Samantha.
