Since the release of Be & D‘s ’Big City Sneaker’ collection, women everywhere are buzzing about this quirky and unique product.  Be & D somehow has managed to do the impossible: morph everyone’s favorite hightop into a high fashion trend. These sneakers are a girl’s dream- they’re stylish, functional, and they give off the illusion that you’re wearing stilettos from a distance. What could be better? We just got the black and pink stiletto patterns in stock at NEXT Beachwood and are absolutely obsessed with them.  Come try on a pair for yourself to see what the hype is all about!

Niciki Minaj‘s collection for OPI encompasses her vivacious personality, daring lyrics, and quirky style.  Although the product hit stores in January, I just encountered it, on Friday, at Dino Palmeri Salon & Spa at LaPlace in Beachwood.

Obviously, I couldn’t make it out the door without buying ‘Save Me‘.

Vibram® FiveFingers® are a breakthrough in footwear that “replicate being barefoot and allow for the natural biomechanics of the foot to work.” Introduced in 2007, these iconic shoes have exploded worldwide as a healthy alternative to traditional running shoes, as well as a fashion statement for the most adventurous trendsetters.

Vibram S.p.A., located in Albizzate, Italy, has always been on the cutting edge of footwear. The company’s founder, Vitale Bramani, patented the infamous Vibram sole in the late 1930′s after six friends of his died in the Italian Alps due to faulty footwear. Vibram’s commercial innovations continue to this day and it will be interesting to see what comes next from their tinker tank.

It takes a lot of guts to introduce something as pure and ergonomically robust as FiveFingers®. Pretty clever trade name to boot.

Vibram FiveFingers are available at Next Beachwood and Coventry.

We tried a little something different today and decided to take our latest summer 2011 sneakers, shoes and, yes, boots to one of Cleveland’s finest restaurants for a photo shoot. We are really thankful that the good folks at Parallax Restaurant | Lounge let us experiment with presenting Next’s newest kicks in the freshest way possible.

Most of the staff at Parallax and some of their customers were completely into the process. They were not shy to ask questions about what we were doing and commented how much they loved all the product picked out by Cleveland’s #1 shoe buyer: Steve Silver.

E Street (Purple and Blue Colorway)
