Now I've always been a very well rounded girl when it came to fashion. I like my shoe game to be tight and my clothes to offer edgy, subtle sophisticated, realness. Does that make sense? LOL! So I'm no stranger to a good pair of sneaks (jordans, creative recs, nikes, the list goes on and on).
Well Ms Teyana Taylor a very well known sneaker head has turned the sneaker world upside down with her additions to the well known and diverse culture. Teyana Taylor teamed up with Adidas Originals and was asked to create a pair of sneakers that reflected Harlem. And boy oh boy did Teyana deliver!!!! She came up with the concept of Harlem GLC (Good Luck Charm) a line of sneaks that are not only original but still on trend with the colors and prints that a high fashion designer would love to use. Check out the first pair she released earlier this year in February:
The sneakers are BAD! Teyana and her team are GENIUSES! I dig the creative way to utilized the back of shoe with the black bands. But the only drawback I have is that they are $140 a pop! Thats a lot of dough for some sneaks. I understand they were custom designs, by a celebrity, and are a part of the Adidas originals. And I know what y'all are saying: Tiffany you just confessed to owning several pair of high end sneakers yourself. Before y'all beat me up let me explain. Every pair of Jordans, Dunks, Bigs, Creative Recs or what have you that I own were bought for me. I have never spent a dime of my own money over $100 for a pair of sneakers. So I am not, nor have I have claimed to be a true sneakerhead I just appreciate the culture, thats all.
Teyana Taylor I'm sorry to say I don't follow you on Instagram or Twitter and I had idea about shoes but I gotta say these are awesome. Big UPS to you girl. You mad style and you got some big props from me!!!!
RATING TIME!!!!!
OVERALL: 10 OUT OF 10 - Great concept, great design. Its got the vibe that every sneakerhead secretly and publicly wants: Originality with a hit of celebrity luxury.
COST: 6 OUT OF 10 - Only because its not an affordable price but given the high end value of the shoe is actually affordable for people who have $140 to spend on some sneaks. Me...sigh, I'll just admire from a distance!
SHOE DESIGN: 10 OUT OF 10 - She kept the true nature of a sneaker. But jazzed it up with beautiful bronze colored snakeskin metallic leather that was brought out by black accents. Along with the faux studded tongue and very creative black band heel.
