It was very flattering when Manolo Blahnik named a shoe after me.
In the dressing room, I always put on my right shoe first. Same thing for my right wristband.
For years I’ve known at some point it’s very likely the shoe would drop. Maybe someone would guess that I’m trans. Maybe they would know me from my life before I transitioned.
My shoe size – I used to wear a size 12, and now I wear a size 15.
I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I’m a big shoe girl.
I have this particular shoe with blood stains, marked all up sitting in my office. I always look at it everyday.
If you’re passionate about the world, and if you really look closely at everything around you, each thing can be transformed into a shoe, or into a part of a shoe.
Natacha Marro has always been a favorite shoe designer, and now she has started offering vegan options in her collection, which is brilliant! As for clothing, I have discovered tons of great vegan independent designers on Etsy!
Everybody growing up where I came from that was the designer shoe. Nobody had Balenciaga’s and all the stuff that we walk around in now. If you had Jordans, that was like a prize basically.
I wanted to make the lightest shoe possible, but still be able to perform at the same time.
A finance minister should have a basic understanding of the country, know where the shoe pinches and, hence, have some compassion in policy formulation. An ability to understand economic issues should certainly be there.
For me, I knew the Christy flat was a beautiful shoe, but I had no idea the incredible trend that would follow – I mean, it’s the most copied thing ever!
I couldn’t have asked for a better kid. She’s our own little Buddha baby so far. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop to tell you the truth. It’s like the calm before the storm.
I have a very silly sense of humor. I’ve never laughed harder in my entire life than seeing someone with toilet paper stuck on the bottom of their shoe.
I’m just overwhelmed with the fact that I had a signature shoe. It’s actually ‘my shoe.’
I love Air Force Ones. That’s the shoe I grew up with in Philadelphia. My older brothers got me wearing them and I just stuck with them. Everyone in the neighborhood used to wear them. It’s retro. It’s tradition. That’s me, old school.
Everyone’s different, but I think the snug feel is definitely popular on tour. A lot of guys like to feel like they are held tightly in their shoe. That feeling helps you move around the court quicker.
So many times I’ve gone flying. I’ve fallen in audience members’ laps, I’ve fallen down the stairs, I’ve had a shoe fall off live.
So, I understand when they make a mistake and everyone at home is throwing their shoe at the television set.
I’m obsessed with sparkle for men. It’s so funny watching people’s reaction to a disco-ball shoe!
I love all the shoe shops in Covent Garden. Laura Lee Jewellery on Monmouth Street for delicate gold jewellery. Every time I get a part in an English movie, I buy myself a piece of jewellery from there.
Sure, Tod’s makes shoes and bags. But we make them using leather, which is a living substance to me. And behind each shoe and bag, which in itself may be attractive and useful and comfortable to carry and wear, there is this Italian spirit, this Italian dream.
My girlfriend is a fashion designer. She has her own company called Rachel Antonoff. She is doing a collaboration with Urban Outfitters right now, a shoe collaboration with Bass. She sells to Barneys, stuff like that.
I never wear the same shoe twice.
Your spikes, which were really quite long then, would catch the material of the track and your shoe would get heavier. I was simply filing them down and rubbing some graphite on the spikes. I thought I would run more effectively.
I have a bag and shoe addiction. If I were a doctor or a lawyer, I’d still have it.
I wanted to be a shoe designer, but I never thought it could be a profession. But what was the alternative? Doctor? Too dirty! Air-hostess? Maybe not! Then someone gave me a book on Roger Vivier, and, cheri, instantly I knew that was it!
I always had an interest in fashion, and when I got to the NBA, I felt like I had to up my shoe game.
I have a lot of boots. I’m a shoe person for sure.
A gray flannel suit by Thom Browne or Tom Ford can be worn a billion ways. I’ll wear a gray flannel jacket with a white shirt, gray flannel tie, beat-up fatigues, and a dress shoe or Carpe Diem boots.
My mom and I aren’t the same size. She’s a bit taller. And we’re not the same shoe size either, which is heartbreaking.
It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out; it’s the grain of sand in your shoe.
Who’s gonna want to wear a loser’s shoe? I know I wouldn’t.
The reality of our business is that for every actor who’s rolled up his tent and given up and gone home, the next day you hear about some shoe salesman at Macy’s who had this audition and now he’s Harrison Ford. There’s always that carrot out there in our business.
When someone calls me a blogger, I think, ‘That’s one of the things I used to do.’ I’m a creative director for my shoe brand; I’m the editor-in-chief of ‘The Blonde Salad,’ which is a website and not just a blog anymore.
You want to fall in love with a shoe, go ahead. A shoe can’t love you back, but, on the other hand, a shoe can’t hurt you too deeply either. And there are so many nice-looking shoes.
My wife will go, ‘You know, you’re drawing a shoe right now.’ I do that all the time.
I’m a shoe girl.
I’m just not a shoe girl.
I came up with my natural logo and ya know, just dealing with Nike I was like can y’all put my logo on the shoes and, you know. At that time I think other guys had logos or specific names on the shoe. So they was like yeah – let’s rock and roll.
There’s something very noble about the bowling shoe. It has very little pretense, and it’s kind of naughty. You have to share them with a bunch of other people, which is so kinky in a way that I like. What other shoes would you actively share with other people?
Every year we are greeted by a host of new apps that will ‘change the way we think’ about ordering takeout, ‘fundamentally transform’ our shoe purchases, or ‘revolutionize’ the way we edit photos.
If the shoe fits, it is probably worn out.
I’m an NBA player with no shoe deal. No endorsement deal. And I play in New York!
My father had a shoe factory in a depressed and rough area of New York City called Williamsburg.
My favorite sneaker is the Penny 1. The Penny 1 is an original, man, and I loved them from the beginning, and other people loved them, too. It was a comfortable shoe, and the Penny 1 was definitely my favorite to play in. The Penny II was a close second, though.
I’ve been around since 1985. When the Jordan shoe came out.
In my industry, a shirt and a shoe are still made the exact same way they were 80 years ago.
There was a story that I was in a shoe shop and that I threw a pair of flip flops at the wall, shouting, ‘I can’t believe how overpriced these are!’ I thought, ‘Gosh, if I’m gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!’
My shoe has been going through evolution, and we having great feedback from the 1 to the 2 and the 2.5’s, so I think just consistency. The biggest thing I wanted to accomplish was a shoe that basketball players loved and felt like they have an advantage out of.
When I came out of college, shoe companies can identify marketable people, and I think I was identified as someone who could potentially move some units and merchandise.
If the shoe doesn’t fit, must we change the foot?
I’m a big fan of the Kyrie shoe.
It sometimes takes me a fortnight to unpack. I find it so depressing. A bit of sand will come out of a shoe and it’ll just take me back to where we were: lovely and relaxed on holiday.
When you sketch a shoe but don’t have the intention to do a proper shoe, it remains a curvy sketch with no detail. The shoe completely morphs to the body.
I think the details and the quality are so important that it has to have an emotional tug. Even if it’s the simplest shoe, it has to have something that says, ‘Oh, I have to have you.’
I’m not a shoe snob.
I never thought that shoes would be the reason that you recruit players, but it’s a factor. I think we need to get the shoe companies out of the lives of the athletes. I think we need to get it back to where parents and coaches have more of a say than peripheral people, but that’s easier said than done.
The most outrageous shoe that I had to do was a shoe where the person gave me stones – precious stones – and say that I could do anything with precious stones.
I’ve embraced comfortable, but still chic, footwear. I don’t know who I was wearing heels for – as much as I love the way they make my legs look and the power I feel when I choose to wear them – but I can do a longer and more pressing day if I’m in a shoe I can walk in.
My favorite shoe brand is Christian Louboutin – I don’t have a favorite shoe store per se.
I never go sexy. I’m more into a well-made pair of pants and a good shoe.
