NIKE SB'S AND JORDANS WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY LIKES BECAUSE OF THE LOVE I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FOR THE BRAND AND THE APPRECIATION I HOLD FOR THE NIKE MOVEMENT. BUT LATELY, FOR A YEAR AND SOME MONTHS I HAVE BEEN FALLING DEEP INTO DESIGNER SNEAKS. IT'S MAD FUNNY WHEN HAVING JORDAN TALKS WITH THE HOMIES ON WHEN THE NEXT JORDAN WOULD DROP. BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE ALL OR TALK VIBING IT UP ABOUT THE NEXT JORDAN IN MY MIND I CATCH MYSELF WONDERING WHAT "KRIS VAN ASSCHE", "RICK OWNES", OR "RAF SIMMONS" WILL BRING TO THE TABLE WITH THEIR SNEAKER CRAFT THE NEXT SPRING OR WINTER. BETWEEN THE THREE DESIGNERS KRIS VAN ASSCHE HAS ME SET OUT TO CUT MONEY ON MEALS AND TRYING TO SAVE UP CASH ANY WAY I CAN TO PURCHASE HIS NEW FALL 2010 "LIBRA CALF SNEAKER" AND " BLACK COMBO". THE TWO BLACK LEATHER SNEAKS ARE COMPLETELY DOPE.THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT I CAN MENTION WHEN IT COMES TO HIS CRAFT TUNED INTO THE TWO CREATIONS. KRIS VAN ,THE BELGIUM KID HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL IN HIS HANDS AS A DESIGNER. SHORTLY GRADUATING FROM "ANTWERP ROYAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS" IN BELGIUM KRIS WAS SELECTED BY HEDI SILMANE TO STAND AS AN INTERN AND PARTNER TO WORK SIDE BY SIDE FOR "YVES SAINT LAURENT". AFTER , KRIS WOULD FIND HIMSELF FOLLOWING SILMANE WORKING FOR "DIOR HOMME" WHERE HE SOON WOULD HOLD DOWN THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR POSITION. IN 2005 HOMIE KRIS WENT OFF SHOWING HIS FIRST COLLECTION AND CREATIONS IN PARIS. FROM THE BRIEF VIEW KRIS VAN ASSCHE SHOWCASED IN PARIS HE WOULD BRANCH OFF WITH IS OWN COLLECTIONS MAKING SOME OF THE BEST CLOTHING WE HAVE SEEN WITH A SPECIALTY IN SNEAKERS. OG'S SUCH AS DIDDY AND USHER ARE CONSTANTLY BEING SEEN SPORTING HIS CRAFT.
A WISE DECISION BY KRIS VAN WAS HAVING THE HEART TO TAKE OVER DIOR HOMME WHEN HEDI SILAME WOULD RESIGN IN APRIL 2007. UP TO THIS DAY AS THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AT DIOR HOMME KRIS DOMINATES HIS OWN LINE "KRIS VAN ASSCHE.IF YOU THINK ABOUT KRIS VAN ASSCHE'S STORY IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO YVES SAINT LAURENT'S EARLY HISTORY. YVES SAINT LAURENT MOVING FROM ORAN TO PARIS AND KRIS VAN MAKING THE SAME MOVE AS HE TRAVELS TO PARIS FROM BELGIUM. BOTH INTERNED AT A HUGE COMPANY AND TAKING OVER THOSE COMPANIES IN DUE TIME.THAT'S KINDA WILD HOW SIMILAR THEIR EARLY HISTORY HAS PLANNED OUT TO TRAVEL THE EXACT PATHS JUST DIFFERENT BRANDS. KRIS VAN ASSCHE HAS KILLED HIS WORK UP TO THIS DAY. FOR ME, I APPRECIATE HOMIES GRIND BUT THE SNEAKER LINES HE CONTINUE TO CREATE IS WHY I AM HIGHLY IN THE LIKES OF HIS CRAFT. BELOW ARE MY TOP PICKS OF HIS 2010 FALL COLLECTION, THE "BLACK COMBO" AND"LIBRA CALF SNEAKER". KRIS VAN ASSCHE JOURNEY IS FAR FROM OVER. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN HOMIES.
