Autumn Shoerageously

Pssst. There’s still a few days to see the Shoerageous exhibit put on by Creativity Explored in San Francisco, CA.  There you’ll see a handpicked collection of drawings and sculpture inspired by the shoe and sneaker.

You already know right? Basketball star Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace..

What more can I say? He’s top billing.

You are going to get it; shoes with blood designed onto them. The NBA’s Dwyane Wade posted them first.

Sneakers actually; just in time for Halloween from Li-Ning. They might have something promotional to do with a cable TV show about a killer. Surely they’ll be great to wear at job interviews and other dress-to-impress occasions.

Not to be misread as the shoe company Dexter– the old school New England brand whose founder is said to have started the country’s first factory-outlet…

Readers may recognize Dexter as the inexpensive offerings seen on  JC Penny, Payless, and Sears shelves. Did you know Dexter has a deluxe bowling category and sell what they claim is the world’s most advanced bowling shoe– the SST 8, featuring removable heels and soles?

What are.

The most expensive shoes in the world ?

What more can you say about the shoes Nick Cannon wore hosting an America’s Got Talent TV show? Shown above kindly removing before walking on a performer’s smart dress…

 Cannon and Tom Ford brought them to life in the form of diamond encrusted loafers. Jason the jeweler tags them at 2 million. Chances are they’ll be auctioned off for charity; then we’ll see if they fetch more than some $666,000 ruby red slippers that Judy Garland had worn while filming Wizard of Oz did at a Christie’s auction fourteen years ago.

According to Guinness, no one knows how many red shoes Garland used in the production of W.O.O. The above pic is from the Smithsonian (not the pair auctioned). 

One more thing: Toe cameras put the sneak in sneaker.

A Japanese law-enforcement official points out the pinhead camera embedded in a brand of sneakers which have already sold 2,500 pairs while society figures out if they should be legal.  It’s a law tightrope, because multiple cameras on just about everything we wear are “OK” (really though?) , but being so easily able to take photos upwardly, undetected… skirt wearers take note.
