An institution when it comes to all things sneakers, Sneaker Freaker launches their issue 23 today with many exciting features, including  the long awaited ‘Best of the Best of 2011″. Get your copy here!  For a little flashback check out  a  Snobette’s  best sneaker  pick from 2007!

One of the institutions in sneaker culture, the illustrious Sneaker Freaker, got to pick the brain of Snob  favorite Jeremy Scott. A worthy read as you can see:

Do you think that people take fashion too seriously?
Yes I do. It should be fun, it should be something that you play with. Fashion should be… frivolous. I guess the thing that’s hard for me to understand is why other people see fashion in that way, because I just don’t. I don’t think I see life in that way either. Even when really bad things happen, I can still kind of chuckle about it. It doesn’t mean it’s not serious. But I could still probably make a joke about it, you know? And have a little laugh, even though I’m upset. I just think of fashion as a church, where they kneel down and pray in front of a blouse. It’s not meant for that! I want my clothes to have a life. I want people to live in them and wear them and create memories in them, meet their boyfriend and then have pictures on Facebook, then going back and thinking ‘Oh, I was wearing that jacket,’ and that has so much more emotion instead of something that’s so precious you don’t even want to wear it!

With a first lady rocking lanvin sneakers , brands like Margiela and Chanel producing designs  that have made even the sneaker shy lust. Sneaker Freaker put together a nice feature on the rise of what they  call the ‘Lux’ sneaker. You can read the feature ”Is High Fashion The New SB? “ here. Enjoy!

One of the recurring brand topics we have  at HighSnobette ,is the topic of Reebok, a brand we both love,who at one time was leading the way in women’s fitness.For us it has always been clear.If  Reebok focused consistently  on its women’s fitness market,fused it seamlessly with fashion,  it would have been in a different place today,at least in the consumer’s mind.Sneaker Freaker’s Sara Jane Owen Freestyle Forever is a must read to understand this Icon of women’s kicks, who was turning heads way before the swoosh…

I had a pair of Adidas ZX 700’s with bronze metallic accents with neon orange stripes, that I wore to the ground, I still think bout them…

The new installement of the style takes a step as an all around fashion sneaker with leather and perforated suede accents, and of course a pink lining…love it..
