Most Trending Summer 2016 Sandals and Slides
Categories:Designer ShoesWith summer finally beginning to peek its head out, it’s time to begin assessing our wardrobes and deciding what we need to stock up on. The best place to start looking is your shoes, as they can determine the rest of your wardrobe. So, even if you think you’re all set as far as footwear, you should probably take a look around and see if you find any last minute, irresistible pieces to add in – you can never have too many. Sandals and slides are the shoes you’ll want to be looking for in summer 2016. The 20 pairs of summer 2016 sandals we have in this list will not only complement your wardrobe, but also open the doors for a whole new section in your closet.
1. Alexander Wang Leather Slip-Ons
These leather flats by Alexander Wang feature silver-toned studs on the top lattice-like design. They are easy to slip on and wear, so you can just toss them on and run out the door in style. The cutouts make the sandals airy, so for summer you will be comfy, and in some designer kicks.
2. Loeffler Randall Metallic Silver Strappy Sandals
For summer 2016, and every summer before, a pair of strappy, feminine sandals is an essential element in anyone’s wardrobe. These sandals from Loeffler Randall will add that necessary piece, while still adding some extra style, due to the silver tone of the straps and the rose gold accents.
3. Mabu by Maria BK Over-Decorated Sandals
Definitely one of the most trending summer 2016 sandals, this high lacing pair brings to mind the Yiddish word “ungapatchka” – overly decorated and busy. The best thing is, I mean that in the greatest way possible. With these colorful pom-pom sandals, you’ll always be a topic for conversation, and they’re sure to brighten people’s days as they see them. These are just a good pair of fun shoes for summer 2016 that will liven up your wardrobe.
4. Blue Suede Lace Up Heels
This is a pair of sandals that juxtaposes delicacy and being fun, with dainty straps lacing up around the ankles paired with the blue accent at the toe and tassel at the heel. This is a fun pair of summer 2016 shoes for an evening out, where you don’t have a care in the world. Buy these heeled sandals from ASOS!
5. Floral Slingbacks
Slingback sandals are some of the best summer shoes, since they are so easy to wear and you’re given the same amount of sun as you are through wearing a simple pair of flip flops. You get the extra support of the slingback strap, and, in this case, you are able to get an adorable, 3D floral print on a whole new level – you won’t see this silver style in ordinary flip flops.
6. Chloe Colorful Knotted Block Heels
The cord-like straps in this quirky shoe are made of knotted leather. Made as a base for the ’90s-themed catwalk of Chloé’s spring 2016 show, the block heels here bring back one of the lesser remembered ’90s trends, and pull them into a wearable new set of sandals for summer 2016. The white platform here would make these shoes striking when worn with a breezy white outfit. You will find these sandals at Net-a-Porter.
7. Pink Leather Slingbacks
Bringing together the utility of the slingback feature, the quality of the leather, and the femininity of the woven pink, these summer 2016 sandals are ideal for your cute, semi-casual warm-weather looks. In summer, sandals should have more than one purpose, and shoes like these can translate between wear with sundresses, shorts, capris, jeans, and about anything else, so a pair like this will prove to be a great investment.
8. Fendi Thick Strapped Floral sandals
These thickly block-heeled sandals feature thick bands of cornflower and black leather, using minimum surface space to hold your feet in place. Designed by Fendi, and available from Net-a-Porter, this spring and summertime footwear almost looks cartoonish due to the 3D florals on the top. The low heel makes it easy to wear these shoes throughout your day, so you don’t need to worry about losing momentum.
9. Stuart Weitzman Strappy Snakeskin Sandals
Sometimes snakeskin can get to be a bit much, but with these embossed sandals from FORWARD, the print is embedded within the design of the shoe, so the two are able to play against each other rather well. The shoe is all in leather, and with the classy snakeskin finish everything just feels luxurious, so you can take this summer by storm.
10. Givenchy Modern Jelly Sandals
Jelly shoes were inherently a ’90s trend, and I hope it largely stays that way. But Givenchy found a way to modernize that trend, and has created these chainlink-styled jelly shoes, perfect for the sandals trend of summer 2016. Available at Saks Fifth Avenue in four creamy shades, each option stays smooth, which gives a material aesthetic rivaled to no other. These casual shoes will really work well with your casual ensembles on days that may take a turn for the gloomy.
11. Loeffler Randall Peep Toe Tassel Sliders
Easy to pop on and go, these Loeffler Randall metallic tassel sliders can be purchased from Saks Fifth Avenue. The tassels featured right on the open toe give a quirky edge while still keeping up to date with summer 2016 shoe trends. If heels aren’t quite your speed with lower key events, sliders like this may be a slick alternative. The silver-toned leather works well with dresses of many types, so investing in these could give your feet a much-needed rest from heels.
12. Pollini Casual Floral Slingbacks
These cute and simple floral sandals are available from Farfetch, and are characterized by brown florals with minimal black accents. Keeping things in the simple brown color scheme makes it much easier to pair these with your favorite ensembles for the upcoming summer 2016. There’s nothing too serious about these shoes, making them excellent for wearing anytime throughout the season.
13. Paula Cademartori Gold, Scalloped Sandals
These sandals really take you back, to an ancient era, even; between the composition and showing on the website, these shoes take on that old-worldly vibe. Created with gold leather, silver, and cork, the materials used in the production of these sandals are rich, leaving no expenses to the summer 2016 sandals trend.
14. Proenza Schouler Open Toed Leather Sliders
Proenza Schouler has created these white leather sliders, which feature metal pom-poms that have the appearance of being strung together by black crocheted bits. As with any sliders, you are given the incentive of easy wearing, so as to simply slide on and go. What better way is there to finish off a chic summer 2016 ensemble than by sliding into a pair of luxurious sliders, like these, which are available from Forzieri.
15. Giambattista Valli Strappy, Elegant Heels
Imagine attending a black tie garden party. The time it is a warm evening of summer 2016, and you’re all dressed up in a stunning little black dress. All what’s left is to step into this pair of gorgeously embellished, block-heeled sandals by none other than Giambattista Valli. These sandals are available from Moda Operandi, and will truly make or break any formal event you attend this summer.
16. Steve Madden Simple Ankle-Strapped Sandals
These Steve Maddens are simple and chic, perfect for mixing and matching with all kinds of outfits, both casual and formal. You can purchase these shoes from Nordstrom in one of four shades of suede or in a pale pink patent leather. These sandals are a take on the classic ankle-strapped shoe, but this time with a thin, block heel that translates well to the sandal trends for summer 2016.
17. Proenza Schouler Wooden and Calfskin Heels
These heeled sandals, created by Proenza Schouler, are held aloft due to the striped, natural-appearing wooden cylinder used as a heel. A silver grommet has been placed on either side of the shoe, which ensures that everything remains modern, while the calfskin laces work with the wooden heel to keep things down to earth. This whole footwear concept is juxtaposed, giving a unique sandal experience for summer 2016.
18. Nicholas Kirkwood Architectural Pearl Sandals
The angle of the heel of these sandals is truly remarkable, and is a unique beauty on this list and in the footwear industry. With a signature Nicholas Kirkwood pearl lodged between the architecturally angled heel and bottom of the shoe, this pair of sandals appears to be luxurious, which goes along with the rich navy blue, thick ankle strap, and smooth print.
19. Studded Rocker Block Heels
Block heels are a retro trend, and with this type of edgy, rocker styling, we are transported back into the ’90s pop punk era. Available from ASOS, these studded and buckled sandals are given an open design, making them ideal for summer wear, and will also allow you to keep up with your trendy retro styling needs throughout the year.
20. Clear Heeled Gladiators
Gladiator sandals are a bohemian staple, and adding in a heel just gives it a new dimension. In a grey patent leather with a clear heel, these shoes from ASOS are truly unique. What better sandals for summer 2016 could you want than a pair that encompasses multiple trends in one? That’s just smart spending right there, so you might as well buy this as well as a few others and give your wardrobe a boost!

Athletic Propulsion Labs Techloom Pro Sneaker Collection
Categories:Designer Shoes
IMAGES: APL
It always starts this way. You want something new to wear on your feet, a high-performance shoe that’s not only functional, but has to look pretty good as well. And preferably something that’s not from the Big 4 because you don’t want the same thing as everyone else.
So what does one do in situations like these? Well, you check out Athletic Propulsion Labs (or APL for short), a new-to-Singapore sports shoe label that’s also exclusive toPedder on Scotts at Scotts Square. Founded by identical twins Adam and Ryan Goldston in March 2009, they sought to create sporting products that combined the best of form and function.
Fast-forward to present day, APL holds numerous patents both in the US and internationally, with one, the Concept 1 basketball shoe banned by the NBA (and I quote) for ‘providing an undue competitive advantage.’
Besides basketball shoes, you’ll also find trainers and running shoes at Pedder on Scotts, with the Techloom Pro ones being my favourite because besides being lightweight, they basically wear like a sock for that snug comfortable fit.
IMAGE: APL
Available in a wide variety of colours for both men and women, the S/S16 collection features metallic and pastel variants, all of which are now available at Pedder on Scotts for you to check out. Priced at SGD280 a pair, they aren’t that expensive either, especially if you’re looking for an everyday sneaker that will not only look good but perform remarkably as well.

CAGED PUMPS AND EXTRA CHUNKY HEELS ARE EXTRA HOT WITH CELEBS THIS WEEK
Categories:Designer ShoesThis is a serious question: how many "Kendall + Kylie" fashion lines are the Jenners legally allowed to vend at the same time? I ask because we're up to three. That being said, their new line of shoes, apparel and accessories will probably be far more appealing to those who would never deign to enter a PacSun or Topshop. In other news, New York Fashion Week is almost upon us and Victoria Beckham has her NYFW wardrobe prepped and ready, and Gucci makes a pair of clogs that you might actually want to buy, if you don't wince at the word "clogs."
AMY ADAMS
FRANCESCO RUSSO SNAKESKIN SANDALS
Here's Amy Adams on the red carpet at the 2016 NFL Honors in a white Antonio Beradi dress paired with lovely Francesco Russo Snakeskin Sandals. Yes, you read that right, she's at the 2016 NFL Honors, which are a thing that A-list actresses apparently have to attend now, for reasons I don't completely understand.
DAKOTA JOHNSON
GUCCI AMSTEL CLOGS
Dakota Johnson strapped on this pair of Gucci Amstel Clogs for her recent appearance on Good Morning America. These Guccis are also offered with your more typical, short clog heel, but after seeing these, why would you bother?
EMMA ROBERTS
CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA KITTY FLATS
Emma Roberts was recently spotted galavanting around LA in a cute pair of Charlotte OlympiaKitty Flats. These flats have been around for several years now; are they an instant classic, or are they starting to look dated? I can't decide.
JADA PINKETT SMITH
FENDI ENCAGED SANDALS
Jada Pinkett Smith has a new film to promote, so we're seeing a lot of her this week and she is killing it every time. Here she is at the premiere of Freeze Frame wearing a rhinestone-encrusted pair of Fendi Encaged Sandals.
KARLIE KLOSS
AQUAZZURA AMAZON LACE-UP PUMPS
Here's Karlie Kloss at the opening of the "Vogue 100: A Century of Style" exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Karlie is wearing a cut-out Christopher Kane LBD and an extremely complementary pair of Aquazzura pumps. Way to keep it 100, Karlie.
KYLIE JENNER
KENDALL + KYLIE ALISHA TIERED PUMPS
Yes, as we've already discussed, Kendall and Kylie just released ANOTHER Kendall + Kylie fashion line, though this one is a slightly more upscale to-do. Kylie wore a pair of her own pumps to the most recent KENDALL + KYLIE launch party, and then out to a celebratory dinner at Nobu. These pumps are already available at Nordstrom, and the line will reportedly be sold at Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Saks, Shopbop and everywhere else you shop, essentially. You can take a look at the full Kendall + Kylie lookbook here.
RACHEL MCADAMS
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN FOLLIE DRAPERIA PUMPS
Here's Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams, wearing a sheer, ruched chiffon pair of Louboutins with a gorgeous white Elie Saab gown on the red carpet of the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Shockingly, you do not have to be an Oscar nominee to acquire a pair of those Louboutins right now; they'recurrently available on Net-A-Porter.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
VICTORIA BECKHAM MIDCALF BOOTS
These Victoria Beckham boots are so thoroughly Victoria Beckham I almost can't stand it. The pitch on these chunky-heeled boots is even sharper and more treacherous than the pitch on Victoria's go-to Casadei Blade Pumps. VB has a big week coming up (NYFW and all), but I'm guessing if she doesn't twist both ankles while wearing these within the next 48 hours, she'll be fine.

Riccardo Tisci Presents A Dope Nike Collaboration
Categories:Designer ShoesGivenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci has again teamed up with Nike, and this time the design is to reinvent the iconic NikeLab Dunk Lux High pair. “The Dunk is a shoe that you can wear every day. It represents a performance sport icon and at the same time you can wear it to go to work and in your normal life,” he exclusively told i-D, and we can now finally see the results of this exciting collaboration, which will be available starting from February 11th at NikeLab retailers and online stores at nike.com/nikelab.
It is not the first time that self-professed sneakers-addicted Riccardo Tisci employed his abilities as a haute couture designer to recreate an exclusive pair of shoes with the iconic sportswear brand, as the unconventional duo teamed up a little more than two years ago to reinvent the beloved Air Force pair. Named Nike + R.T. AF1, Tisci added to this equally iconic pair of shoes some fancy bold stripes, bright gold accents and a low-top boot silhouette that made everyone run amok.
This time he focused on the evergreen model Dunk Lux High, and began teasing us via his Instagram account less than two weeks ago. To give us a hint of what this collaboration was going to be all about, he posted a vintage picture of Sylvester Stallone wearing a Nike tank top, captioning it with a mysterious ‘coming soon’ statement. While some began speculating about a collaboration among the three of them, namely Nike, Stallone and Tisci, we now know that Rambo has more to do with the Dunk Lux High’s silhouette itself rather than with the actor himself.
The NikeLab Dunk Lux High x RT pair has a certain boxeur appeal, mainly thanks to its lace-up high boot silhouette, thick leather fabric and ultra-high top, the clean lines however giving the shoe a sort of unisex allure. Thick, of course, is the inevitable signature Nike swoosh too, which is going to be available in white, black or red, as the pair of shoes will be available in both black and white.
The white and red combo is particularly dear to the designer’s heart and memories, as he often wore that pair of shoes when he was younger and used to play basketball with his friends: “The first pair of Dunks I had were white and red. I’ve been representing the brand for 25 years. I believe in the roots of the company, and always have,” he told Vogue.
Introduced for the first time in 1985, the Nike Dunk has now an haute couture meets athleisure makeover, which won’t be that affordable, as expected. The sneakers will retail for $300 but at least, unlike the Nike + R.T. AF1, you won’t have to wait months to finally get your hands on the actual pair of shoes.
“I like collaborating with Nike because it takes me to another place, which is different from my reality every day. Nike is an American company and very well perceived. The opportunity makes a big statement. I think it’s a dream of any designer’s to be in everybody’s home,” he concluded, leaving room for us to think that this won’t be the last partnership between him and Nike.
