Celebriries Go Mad About Shoes!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Often we try to persuade ourselves that celebrities are ordinary people with ordinary tastes. However, I can hardly believe in this. The majority of them, for example, go mad about shoes.
The well-known singer Celine Dion once said that she has 3 thousand different pairs of shoes. The singer confessed that shopping for her is a real problem. She can hardly stop.
Even some men have a similar disease. Elton John is the owner of more than a thousand pairs of shoes.

Paris Hilton travels around the world, boosting Paris Hilton Footwear Collection. However the star doesn’t carry these shoes – she has about 400 pairs of footwear, moreover each pair is custom-made (on the one hand, it is connected with her capriciousness, but on the other hand, the star has the big size of the foot).

The actress Jessica Alba collects footwear as well. Footwear occupies two rooms in her house. What is surprising is that in everyday life Alba carries nothing but slippers. She needs heels only for official events which take place approximately once a week. Once Jessica paid over 40 thousand dollars for a pair of shoes from Celine collection.

Avril Lavin’s favorite footwear is sneakers. However, she has no favorite shoe brand, therefore the singer buys up everything she likes! “I have Converse sneakers, Dickies and Osiris as well. I don’t know for sure how many…but over a hundred.”

David Beckham is very picky about his footwear, it is important for him from a professional point of view. That’s why his football boots are custom-made. The trouble is he puts on such football boots only once.

Beckham’s wife Victoria buys a pair of shoes from each Christian Louboutin collection. Can you imagine that? Victoria is so mad about heels that in case there’s no her size, she buys a bigger one and carries it putting some paper in it so that not to slip out.

In short, stars’ madness about footwear is obvious. Many of them even launch own shoe lines. And when their closets are replete with numerous boxes with footwear, stars sell them at auctions considerably raising their own popularity.

Celebrities Choose New Balance

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Throughout the years New Balance brand has established itself as a reliable, high quality, inexpensive shoe producer, who spends a minimum amount of time and effort on advertising. The philosophy of the company lies in the fact that no particular emphasis is given to any specific shoe.

Another interesting point is that instead of giving their shoe styles sophisticated and catchy names, like most of the other shoe manufacturers do, New Balance assigns a number to each of the styles. When the shoe is redesigned, the style is marked up by one. The mystery of what those four or three digits in the name of the style are is yet to be resolved by the general public.

Today, given the number of appearances by world celebrities made when wearing New Balance shoes, it looks like the trend of no or, better to say, little advertising, is about to change. It all started with professional NBA basketball players (Charlie Bell of Milwakee Bucks and Matt Bonner of San Antonio Spurs), who wore New Balance shoes (BB 8026 and BB904) during a couple of games.

The trendency is now being picked up by Hollywood stars, who all of a sudden seem to be in love with New Balance Styles. Kanye West became the first celebrity to appear in public wearing the exclusive United Arrows x New Balance 997.5 while accompanied by his bold girlfriend. Kanye West was also spotted wearing the same pair of sneakers during the High Fashion Week in London.

Other less glamorous Hollywood stars, such as Hayden Christensen, Seth Rogen and Eric Dane also gave in to the New Balance fever. While Christensen chooses classical running shoes New Balance U420BG, Dane preferred a more popular New Balance style - New Balance M1400LLV.

Now, why the celebrities chose to wear New Balance is a big question. Time will show whether this is a conscientious step in the direction of increased advertising volumes, or a willing choice of Hollywood.
