To all the ladies who love sneakers, I thought you might like this one. Street wear brand Married to the Mob has teamed up with LACOSTE to bring you this lace covered confection for your feet.
If you don't know the brand Married to the Mob, the line spawned when designer Leah McSweeney desired to make casual wear in a girl friendly version. In 2004, out of her pink-walled apartment in New York City, she took her Mac computer and got to work.
Says Leah, "I have been wanting to work with lace for a while but was waiting for the right product. Once I saw the silhouette of the LACOSTE sneaker I knew the lace idea would work perfectly for this. I had originally been inspired by the shoe king Christian Louboutin. He had used lace on a pump and it looked so chic. I thought how cool would it be to translate that onto a sneaker."
