Nike and Liberty of London join forces again for Spring Summer 12. Not one to disappoint, this collaboration fuses the pioneering sporting technology of Nike and the intricate prints of Liberty of London effortlessly with a few twists to the tale.
The new collection is formed around key Nike silhouettes; Cortez, Air Max 1, Free 5.0 and the all new Dunk Sky High.
All of the trainers in this exclusive collection are adorned with Liberty’s 20th Century take on the traditional paisley. It first appeared in their collections in the 1940’s and was revived in the 90’s. This print has been revisited yet again to add an Olympic Laurel for the SS12 collection - a heritage sporting print for a heritage sporting brand.
These exclusive and highly collectable sporting greats are coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled.
Since we have been having a bit of nice weather recently I thought I would take the time to ask a couple of our lovely ladies from head office to tell me what sandals they were after this SS12 and why.
Tassy - Stock Control: Havaianas Top Metalic flip flop ‘Well I don’t really like to wear bright coloured sandals, but I do love to mix matte black and grey with hints of shiny silver. That’s why I will be wearing the Havaiana metallic flip flop in silver this season. They go with everything and are unbelievably comfy. The perfect summer sandal if you ask me.’
Jeni – Ladies Buying: Comfort Sandals Black Leather ‘I constantly change up my look so I need a sandal that will go with whatever I decide to wear this season. I really like the 90’s grunge style at the moment so the comfort sandal in black leather is perfect. The simple cross over strap detailing gives them a classic look that I will be able to transfer to loads of different styles.’
Amy – Ladies Allocator: Narnia Plait tan leather
‘I don’t really like sandals with bits in between my toes. I have been on the look out for the perfect ones for a while, so when I saw the Narnia Plait in tan leather I instantly knew they were the ones for me. I just think they are so summery and will go brilliantly with chinos and dresses. My number one choice.’

Vanessa from the Saturdays was snapped wearing Kickabout in electric blue on the video shoot for their new single. Their stylist couldn’t wait to show us how they looked and sent us in these great pictures of Vanessa getting ready to rock. Hair and make-up - check. Great shoes – Check. Even better legs – check! (not that we are jealous or anything) We can’t wait to see the video now!
Zoe Hardman, ITV presenter was spotted wearing the glittering Kaleidoscope Platform at the Brit Awards last night. We love the way she has worked with the peach colour and given it an edgy feel with animal print and smokey eyes.
Goody Two Shoes fills the air with sugar and spice and all things nice. This trend focuses on the juxtaposition of chunky shapes with girly bows, oversized corsages and ribbon ankle ties in flirtatious candy coloured pastels. Get the Goody Two Shoes look this season by controversially throwing away the rule book and mixing patterns, materials and colours for maximum impact. Cutesy bow flats, in sugary shades of berry and blush will make you top of the fashion class. Contrasting textiles are big news for our Goody Two Shoes trend; woven platforms and pastel suede is complimented with plait trims and peek-a-boo panelling. Experiment with your naughty but nicely heeled side this summer!
Combining super modern elements with a sports influence this Spring Summer make way for a fresh take on seasonal dressing. Sleek lines and directional styling are key players, with flashes of colour and futuristic finishes creating a trend that goes the distance. The look transcends to luxurious and glossy fabrics cut on modern shapes; opt for a high-shine patent brogue elevated on a flatfform for added finesse. Clean and sharp lines sprint across heels, with injections of colour and flashes of vinyl making a statement on Mary-Jane’s and t-bars. Colour blocking is updated on androgynous loafers complete with contrast laces and soles in hot pink and ice rink blue. Cut outs make an elegant flourish, lending a restrained touch of confident femininity; choose from futuristically slick silver or interlinked stars on sandals to create a modish take on the look.
The promising beat of a drum signals the start of Spring Summer and the sleeping world coming alive. Our Nomadic Travellertrend urges you to embrace mother earth as Aztec beading, tassels and tribal stitching come to the fore. Opulent tasselled sandals embellished with buttercup yellow and peacock blue beads are but a few of the things to expect from Nomadic Traveller. Walk tall in woven mules in dusty summer palettes or rich vibrant berry coloured feathers on delicate t-bars. Adorn your ankles in precious stones, with earthy hues of moss and bronze on floral print silk adding varied textures. Dance to the beat of a different drum this season.
