Flock detail on upholstery is stunning and I've got to admit, they've made these Airwalk Sensation flocked high kicks kind of appealing. The flocked rose detail stands out beautifully against the plaid canvas with giving these high kicks a girlish charm. If you've been wanting to slip on a pair of high kicks but don't know if they will suit your style, try these with a mini skirt or black skinny jeans, perhaps to sway the vote a little, they have been marked down from $24.99 to $19.99.

Kanye West has revealed his brand new trainers for Louis Vuitton by being the first person to wear them. While leaving a LV boutique, the music megastar showed off his design to paparazzi who caught it all on video.
Kanye first announced his collaboration with the luxury label back in July when he attended the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. His collection for Louis Vuitton, which so far includes some fairly basic white high-tops, is slated for June 2009. [via Hypebeast]

Sisters are definitely doin' it for themselves with this latest range from Nike. The sportswear giant have launched a new women's-only collection of trainers, which come with all the tech-savvy elements that any gym junkie would need.
It includes Nike's latest whizz-bang feature, DiamondFLX, an outsole technology that helps with the multidirectional nature of cross-training and gym classes. As well as the ever popular iPod-compatible tracking system.
After all that turkey at Christmas, it may be just what I need! [via WWD]

I'm not a huge trainer fan, but even these have sparked my interest. They are the brand new collaboration from Jeremy Scott and Adidas. These winged metallic trainers mix '80s basketball style, with a whimsical almost Greek God-like appeal. They won't be released until March 2009, but I can already anticipate the waiting list. Don't they make you just want to fly away?

As I've mentioned it before, I'm not much of a trainers girl, the pair I bought months ago because I lost my mind for a split second and thought I'd take up boxercise has been worn once. On a stroll about the neighbourhood to 'bump' into a cute boy. So why get proper exercise shoes if I'm not going to use them for exercise? These cute Juicy Couture Elsa trainers are the perfect accessory for random (aka planned) meetings under the guise of athletic adventure.

Cassette Playa a.k.a. Carri Mundane has just unleashed her version of Nike's iconic 'Blazer' trainer, first created for the designer's spring/summer '08 collection.
But hark back to 1973, when the 'Blazer' first hit the street, and its a far cry from those times. Carri has added her own special flavour, injecting colours that "reference the faded neons of Eighties' skate culture". I'll say... I'm *hearting* that peachy/coral hue.
The Cassette Playa Blazer trainer will be available from December 20, priced at £85, from select Nike stores. Visit: www.nikesportswear.com

Converse are becoming pretty renowned for music collaborations, and their latest venture sees The Grateful Dead team up for a limited edition trainer.
The San Francisco band, regarded as 'the pioneering godfathers of the jam band world', have recreated its famous 'Dancing Bears' artwork on the original Chuck Taylor style.
Yes, they are probably geared for the menfolk, but I think the print is uber-cool and therefore, worth a look. The trainers are priced at £44.99 and are available from www.converse.com [via Telegraph]
