Paul Smith Deck Shoes

Joe — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:53:18 +0000

What recession? We don’t know about you, but a lot of people are still dropping tons of paper on footwear. Yeezy’s anyone? You might cringe at the $485, price tag of these Paul Smith deck shoes, but trust us, you’re not just paying for the name.

These boat-friendly shoes will not only last you a FEW summers, but they’re also hooked up in premium leather that not many other brands are rockin’ with. If you’re feeling them, lay the plastic down and worry about the bill another day.

Vans Sk8-Hi LX

Joe — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:00:44 +0000

For their latest Sk8-Hi Vans found inspiration from British Fashion designer Paul Smith. The influence of Smith's usual multi-colored stripe pattern can be seen on the inner linings as well as the tongue of the kicks. The majority of sneaker heads may not have heard of Paulie, but you'll score major points with the label-conscious chicks. The shoes are available now at Flauge for series paper, but look for them to hit stateside in the next month or so. Check close-up shots after the jump.

Paul Smith Designs A Ping Pong Table

Joe — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:30:09 +0000

By now you've probably moved on to wallet-busting denim, but are you still playing ping-pong on a warped-wooded table you've played drinking games on in college? Let's hope not. If you're looking to impress apartment guests and the WII tennis has gotten old, this swanky Paul Smith designed ping-pong table is your joint. Smith got help from designer Hunn Wai, for the high-fashion table, and although it will probably cost a grip, the floss-factor is more than worth it.
