the shuzmuse has been surfing and today shot me a “photograph” of a bright and sunny pair by eley kishimoto. his fave was the cut-out peep-toe in grey and yellow leather. a little shazzam! in one’s swagger never ever hurt. and no “fo fo foolin’” the footwear collection is pretty rad! kind of like a billion bangle bracelets, def leppard’s pyromania album and a new can of aqua net.
“too late for love?” hu-ugh. get your kishimoto shoe scoop from their site’s impressive bio. and you’re sure to overcome any “stagefright,” by getting a load of their snappy blog–it rocks the ages.
left with wanting more? check out zappos’ whole store of rockin’ kickers by Eley Kishimoto.
