Major Brands in the Shoe Cult Community have been designing clothing for years. While some Shoe Heads love being dripped, head-to-ankle with loud logos & Snapbacks of the brand they have on their foot, there are also those who stay fitted in solid Black & White garments, only showing hints of a shade that compliments the daily featured sneaker. Trying to find out their favorite shoe to purchase the matching shirt and joggers is hard, and with not wanting to stick a solid black tee in a gift bag, Brands like FVCK Refined VisionStereotypeCALIFORNIA CROWN, & DXPE GVNG has exactly what you need.

This Seattle based company has heads turning. Even on my Wishlist this holiday season,  SPILLED is more than just a Floor-wear company. They bring the tears in the eyes of Sneaker heads everywhere, and why wouldn't it? the vibrant colors, and artistic values on different sneakers, SPILLED brings their favorite shoes to higher heights. Imagine you walk into a Living room or bedroom, even a dedicated shoe room and see one of these, you will clearly see how loyal they are to the game. With limited numbers, there's no Second guessing about a purchase such as grand as this one. But make sure they have enough room for these pieces. I would frame and wall mount this bad boy,  but thats just a thought!! Be sure to check their collection ASAP: http://www.spilled.co/

But I do wanna shed some Direct light to the ladies who's shoe game are of the most high, & one particular brand I have major feelings for. Revolution Riche. From Beanies, tanks, to cell phone cases, this Jersey City Brand has taken urban style & reinvented it. As they Say enough is enough, they have generated women & men garments that only a thought process of a innovate fashion/shoe guru would truly appreciate.
