Attention all 90s babies! Now hear this! You are not the inventors of slickness, swagga, Punk, Goth, edginess or anything else pertaining to style and/or fashion. Way back in the 20th Century (1980's to be specific), your [now] parents were young, vibrant, full of 'can-do' attitude, and card carrying members of the ‘Fresh’ (aka cool) club. Members embodied 80s flare that included various genres of style and went far beyond these United States. Everything we did was big and like our hair that stood out (…and in some cases, UP); excessiveness was not only accepted, but encouraged and applauded. Terms like ‘bodacious’ and eighties 'look' required commitment, dedication, and a healthy appreciation for music and theatre. A challenge we embraced whole heartedly lest run the risk of getting dissed by our crew. As an obsessed fan of iconic trend setters...Madonna, Boy George, and Michael Jackson; wearing 50 rubber bracelets, a men’s 2nd hand overcoat and attempting the moon walk in Kenneth Cole patent leather (men’s) shoes was the ultimate. But for a youngin growing up in NYC, there was no substitute for a Lee suit (pants with crease sewn-in) and a pair of shell top Adidas from Modells. Though my taste in shoes has evolved over the years to more gender and age appropriate styles, I still keep a collection of sneakers to feed my need to be B-boy, Punk, PTA mom, Rocker and straight-up Glam girl. So here are my Fall 2010 sneaker 'must haves'..
