Junya Watanabe x Converse All Star

I don’t know about you but I am quite fascinated with high heeled sneakers its like a 2-in-1 shoe, I personally think that high heeled sneaker is a very interesting concept and a brilliant idea. Circle back to Christian Milian’s custom made Jordan 4 stilettos back in ‘06 that was an amazing pair, don’t we agree? It is definitely a more sporty look but on the other hand if you’re a shorty like me, it would add an extra few inches to our height.
I am loving this pair of Junya Watanabe x Converse All Star high heeled sneaker, I’m not sure how much is it but I only know it’s available at On Pedder in Hong Kong (yes all the cute stuff are available in HK which is a bummer!). The wooden heel on the shoes are so cute, I want them! There is also a pair of black Pierre Hardy high heeled sneakers that is amazing too, but ouch to the price - its about US$1145! I’m going to try to get a pair of high heeled sneakers this year, hopefully I run across a dope pair. May be I can get a custom pair too, hmm…
Are you feeling high heeled sneakers? Would you rock them?
Peep the Pierre Hardy high heeled sneaker after the jump…

It looks strange….I must admit. Almost as interesting as heeled timberland boots.
Posted By: Eli | March 3rd, 2008 at 11:01 amI mostly wear sneakers when my knees hurt or I’m going to be on my feet for a long time, so I don’t know that I would personally ever wear them, but they’re definitely interesting.
Posted By: K | March 3rd, 2008 at 12:38 pmThe Converse ones look remarkably similiar to the pair Pee-Wee Herman wore in his “Tequila” biker bar dance scene in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure…” She’s even pulling one of his moves! Great inadvertent homage to Pee-Wee!

Posted By: renaye | March 3rd, 2008 at 6:49 pmi’m going to have to say hell no to this style. this looks awful. sneakers and heels don’t mix.
Posted By: sloane | March 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 pmUS$1145 for a pair of high heeled sneaker is kinda steep. Have to see it IRL to judge if they look nice.
Posted By: HS | March 3rd, 2008 at 9:19 pmi loved the jordan 4 stillettos christinia milian rocked, and the pierre hardy’s are ill too but im not diggin the converse so much. too clunky.
Posted By: superfresh | March 4th, 2008 at 12:13 amI totally have these shoes from like, 1998 - most similar to the Pierre Hardy ones. These would go excellent with some of the Chloe Sevigny/Opening Ceremony stuff.
