At first sight, I was weary. Alejandro Ingelmo has been on my fashion radar for a while, but he hadn't created anything spectacular or new to draw me in. To this point, he hasn't rocked my world.
Sure, love his Cuban American roots and his story. But his take on the new fancy sneakers is just okay. If you're going to reinvent the high-top, then I completely want them to be reinvented from heel to toe. I want a reboot.
So this pair of Alejandro Ingelmo took me by surprise. The criss-cross black plastic straps on top of the suede leather and the zippers on the back had me at hello. It looks like my grandpa's sandals made love to a classic Nike suede high-tops and gave birth to these sneakers.
YES
If you want to jump on the designer sneaker craze but really wear something cool and different that makes paying extra worth it.
NO
These won't go with num chucks and not for the faint of heart.
MAYBE
You're already a ninja and this is so last century for you.
