With sneakers the rage, must-have status shoes have expanded from those with athletes’ endorsements to vintage brands such as Converse to designer and hip-hop labels.
Lugz is collaborating with DJ Funkmaster Flex on the “Vantage,” the third in a series of driving shoes that have been surprisingly successful in the urban footwear arena.
The leather shoe is sleek and low, like a race car. The promoters tout its hidden lacing system pumped with hardware, a molded, cushioned foot bed and roomy interior. (Yes, it sounds like a car commercial.)
The shoe is available in white, wheat, black and ecru, and the side panels are embossed with street scenes of cars. The shoe, priced at $80, is expected to arrive at major retail chains such as Foot Locker soon. For more information, log onto www.lugz.com.
