Jazz feet!

Speaking of fashion revolution, I was carousing some street style posts and discovered a new look from Germany:

GOLDEN JAZZ SHOES!!!

It seems as though golden dance wear is definitely the new style on the street as Diana so aptly shows us.

Also you must check out this video from an Oslovian street style site (that’s probably not the right term, but I love that spell check wanted to change it to “Pavlovian” so I’m keeping it) with lovely Rosanna describing her outfit and her effortless style (note: the literal translation of “funny” means “lots of fun”, our German exchange students in high school used it that way all the time).

I love a pair of shoes that feel like a pair of socks. My beloved Le Coqs fit the bill perfectly, but it’s time for a replacement (Oh Le Coqs, you can never really be replaced in my heart, I will never forget the hours I spent staring at you during cognitive psych….).

I remember when I was a kid I wanted to wear my jazz shoes around the house but my mom wouldn’t let me as they were the most expensive pair of shoes I owned until I splurged on a pair of real Chuck Taylors with my $100 of wardrobe allowance in 8th grade.

Of course you can only get something this hip in Europe (if you live in a big city they may have them at the nearest Capezio, but somehow I doubt they would be regulation footwear at the local dance studio), so after shipping and currency conversion (Blame Bush), the total is:

45.3945 USD

Amber may have better luck with her loonies now-a-days.

But what is $45 when you can feel like these guys?

Here they are in silver:

However, I don’t recommend “completing the look” . Or quitting your day job.

I want them.

  1. I was just looking back through archives and saw the picture of the silver jazz shoes and wanted to brag about my AWESOME thrift store find: Shiny silver keds! Hooray! I would show you a picture, but I don’t have one at my current fingertips. Maybe one day!!

  3. I totally have a pair of gold ones (that look a bit like sneakers). I’ll focus on putting an outfit together to post on my site.

  4. Okay… so I haven’t exactly been very into the metallic trend, particularly in shoes, however, you have definitely nailed it with the photo of this woman in gold ballet/sneaker flats; these are by far, the only amazing ones I’ve ever seen online or in real life. Nice sourcing!

  5. I’m definitely loving the metallic jazz shoes right now. I’ve been searching for inexpensive ones, but it seems my best bet is to buy some cheapo black ones at Payless and spraypaint them gold.

    i’ve been meaning to do a post on jazz shoes (finally, a rain-friendly alternative to the flat!) for a while now but never thought of a metallic version!
    i love that Oslo video! how adorable is she? i’ve been looking for a big colorful scarf forever, so why didn’t i think of the bloody fabric store??

    thanks, sis!
