Although 2013 is the year of the snake, South Korean designer, Juun.J is giving much-needed-love to the other neglected reptile. The croc-embossed sneaker is about as sleek and elegant as a sneaker can get. The patent leather uppers sit on a thin rubber sole. When the shoe is viewed from the profile, it appears much slimmer than any other sneaker on the market. The view from the top reveals an equally elegant pointed toe silhouette. This is a dress sneaker. You’ve heard the phrase ‘don’t wear sneakers with a suit’ – there’s an exception to every rule, and this sneaker is it.
