Alessandro Dell’Acqua is another fashion designer to capitalize on the demand for luxe sneakers.  His spring 2009 collection includes a line of high and low tops.  Like Lanvin and YSL, Alessandro Dell’Acqua keeps the design style of the sneaker classic and uses embellishments (patent leather, velcro straps and hardware) to make the shoe pop.  The white leather and Vernice Blue patent shown above comes in other variations including nylon and patent leather. Alessandro Dell’Acqua Patent Leather Sneaker retails for $393.

As a part of Nike’s “Refresh” regime, Nike is releasing the Nike Zoom Hustle, which is a “refreshed” version of the Nike Hyperflight. This black colorway shoe has the same technology as the Hyperflight’s, but with a re-vamped design. The shoe uses an all-black patent leather upper with a black sole to give that black on black look. The tongue reads “FRESH” with visual emphasis on the letters “RE” to accentuate the “Refresh” line. These are set to drop fall 2009 so be on the lookout at Footlocker when October or November come around.
