Street Detail: Shiny Shoes

Shiny footwear needs a kick in the ass, specifically the cheesy, candy-colored sneaker trend that won’t seem to die. We’re not complete haters of patent-leather, but what happened to a classic pair hard bottoms that paved the way? Rather than be relegated to special occasions that call for the accompanying black and white penguin suit, kids are giving them burn on a more regular basis. After the jump, take a look at how this week’s Street Detail subject pulls off the formal look as part of his daily regimen.
