GROW UP: The Yves Saint Laurent Rolling High-Top Patent Sneaker = Minimalist Brilliance.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Now, the Yves Saint Laurent Rolling High-Top Patent Sneakers aren't nearly new, but coverage of this subtly sophisticated shoe has been severely under reported.

When assembling a wardrobe it is necessary that - from top to bottom - one invest in quality and absolute style. Fads are limiting to the wearer and, believe it or not, convey fickleness driven by insecurity. On the other hand, adherence to the classics with a few smart contemporary choices thrown in the mix NEVER gets dated. To that end, the YSL Rolling High-Top is to high end footwear what the legendary Adidas "Stan Smith" is to sneakerdom @ large. Simple a a pimple, these luxe lace-ups are all rubber sole and patent-leather - the only hint that these aren't your ordinary pair of kicks is the all-powerful "Yves Saint Laurent" signature and "YSL" patch sewn to the ankle.

Perfect with selvedge denim in the Spring and cargo shorts in the Summer, these bad boys spell "class" without the "new money" logoed-out crassness that attracts the nouveau riche to more popular labels. That alone is priceless. Lames need not apply.
