ECCO Enters the Sports Luxe Sneaker Game

To be completely honest with all my readers (aren’t I always?), I don’t think I have ever stepped foot inside an ECCO store. There was always something about that screamed comfortable shoes dad’s wear when they have given up on life. And I only discovered these shoes when one of their PRs sent a pair over and I am glad they did. The brand seems to be updating their styles and entering more into the fashion game (while keeping their focus on comfort and quality). Enter the ECCO Intrinsic 2 Slip On.

On first impression the shoes remind me of fashion shoe brands like Y3 but with a lightness (in weight) that none of my Y3s have. The shoes are the perfect minimalist sneaker to fit into any modern wardrobe; I will be rocking these shoes everywhere (except the gym – although I am sure they are great in there too). And yes, they are very comfortable. Available now, $200.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
