Phaeton Gray/Black ERX300 Hi

I'm a big fan of ERX300s, high or low, to begin with but these are my favorite pair (for now). This means obviously, that I hardly ever wear them. I'm not ready to have beer spilled on them just yet.

It's a very basic color scheme but I love it; I think it looks great. Using leather for the Star Chevron logo underneath the suede of the same color creates a nice effect. I've tried using both white and gray laces but I think that black looks the best.

Careful for the lobster.

Black/Black/Runner Yellow ERX300 Hi

I wore these Saturday night for a bike ride from Waltham to Allston. It was cold and these were a pretty solid pair for the ride.

I ended up staying the night, waking the next morning to pouring rain. I sucked it up and rode the bike to North Station to take the commuter back to Waltham (thank god they let you bring bikes). By the time I made it to the station it was hailing.
When I got off the train in Waltham it was snowing.

Needless to say that these got some serious breaking in this past weekend. Pouring rain isn't the best thing for suede. We all have to make some sacrifices sometimes.

If you look closely, you'll be able to pick out the difference between the leather and suede. I really like the touches of yellow. My favorite thing about these though are the yellow soles. I've toyed with the idea of using yellow laces but I'm not so sure. We'll see.

Nike Women Claw Money Peacock Vandals Hi

Courtney picked these up two years ago. They're really cool and always get comments on the T and bus. I really like how the "claw" is incorporated into the design of the peacock feather.

I find the color scheme reminiscent of one of those Popple toys I had when I was a kid. Now that I mention it, they match the colors on the blog pretty well too!

She barely ever wears these and I think she wants to get rid of them. (sigh)
