Monday Morning Price Shock!
Manolo says, it is not often that the price of the designer shoe can make the Manolo gasp. This Ann Demeulemeester sneaker has occasioned one such response.

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’ve just made my New Year’s resolutions, and at the top of the list is “get more exerciseâ€. I’m planning a program that combines more jogging with some weight training. Do you have any suggestions for shoes? Claire Manolo says, the Manolo learned long ago not to make the New Years resolutions that required any substantial change in his behavior. Madness that way lies. And thus the Manolo only has one standing New Year’s Resolutions: Make the world more super fantastic. Be kinder…
Manolo says, this week, the Manolo’s Build the Outfit contest is sponsored by the Manolo’s good friends at the Tsubo, the makers of the very stylish and amusing casual shoes. Naturally, because of this kindness the Manolo has chosen the pair of the sportif Tsubos around which you, the gifted amateur stylists, shall build the outfit. Above you see the Zibal by Tsubo in the color scheme described as the Denim/Ice Blue/Emerald, which the Manolo finds to be not only attractive but also redolent of the certain sort of sporty young woman, one who has the carefree and somewhat charmingly…
Manolo says, ayyyyyy! Your shoes can now become the robot! This combination picture (clockwise from top left) shows Japanese toymaker Tomy Company’s “Transformers Sports Label Convoy feat. Nike Free 7.0” in Tokyo April 25, 2007. The toy transforms from a pair of plastic half-scale Nike shoes into a toy robot called ‘Convoy’. The robot, which was created as a collaboration between the two companies, will go on sale in Japan on April 26, 2007 for a price of 2,625 yen ($22).

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question. Dear Manolo, I have quite a challenge for you. I am currently a full time dental student and as required as part of my clinical uniform I must wear frighteningly disgusting seafoam green scrubs. White sneakers are also part of the uniform. Can you suggest a pair of all white sneakers (with non-colored logos) that are stylish and functional for every day? Sincerely, Usually in Heels Ayyyyy! The dull conformity of the working day uniform, how the Manolo hopes that when you become the lady dentist…
Manolo says, here is the inexpensive shoe the Manolo heartily endorses. Waiting in a winding line for autographs from his favorite NBA player, 15-year-old Brian Cox lifted the lid of a shoebox to show off his synthetic leather high-top sneakers with black sides and blue-and-orange soles. At a price his mother doesn’t mind — $14.98 — he got his fourth pair of Starburys this week, a sneaker created by New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury. Joanne Cox brought her two teenage sons to Steve & Barry’s University Sportswear after church Sunday for the launch of Marbury’s spring line. The…
Manolo says, the true fashion it is found on the border between the trashy and the classic, and here, straddling that border is the Jewel of the Nile luxury sneaker from the Kimora Lee Simmons and the Baby Phat. Yes, with the colorful anaconda and the diamonds and the 14 karat gold trim it is over the top and almost ridiculous, but it is also excessively pretty. Thanks to the Manolo’s internet friend Wayne!
Manolo says, in the spirit of the discussion of the sneakers of the old school, the Manolo’s internet friend the Cranky Professor sends the Manolo this note. I was shopping for a simple pair of Bass slip on camp mocs — I’ve had a fresh pair every other year since 1977 or so — and found this: I thought you should be notified. The last paragraph of the description is especially poignant: “With a deconstructed upper and All Star embroidery, it’s a unique look, too. Laces? We don’t need no stinking laces!“ Yes the Manolo he has seen these shoes,…
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends the Rob D. has left the question on the blog of the Manolo. Forgive me for being off topic, Manolo, but what do you think of the new single color Rod Lavers that have come out recently? Do you think the black one would be acceptable as the dark colored tennis shoe? Do you like the all white Rod Lavers, or should I still buy the ones with a little color in them? As the Rob D. may know the Manolo he is the dedicated and long time fan of the Adidas…
Manolo says, the internet, truly it is the wonderful place. For the example, just today the Manolo he received the email from the Manolo’s new internet friend, the Richard, who is the designer of the high performance sports shoes. The Richard he wanted to tell the Manolo about his new super fantastic and super fascinating blog, The First Pullover. If you have ever wondered about the process of designing the sneakers or the football boots, this blog it is for you.
Manolo says, the Missy Elliott she is showing the super fantastic Bobbito Garcia her collection of the Adidas sneakers. This it is for the new television show about the celebrity sneakers from the ESPN called “It’s the Shoes”. The Manolo he would not even know where to find the ESPN on the television, but now he must learn, if only to see the Bobbito and the Missy Elliott do their thang.
