There is nothing more OG than having your own trainer collaboration. If you are a person with a style that can make kicks even sweeter than their original then you will have a pair. Snoop Dogg has done it, Kanye West has done it and now something for the ladies, Santigold has done it. And thank you lord Miss Santi White now goes by Santigold because these gold adorned black treads are the toughest kind of beautiful your feet will ever see, complete with gold SG made by jewelry designer Jules Kim on the top of the tongue. Not only does did this woman give us the Santogold album but she has now given our trainers their very own gold chains.
Vans have truly outdone themselves by letting this incredible lady loose with a design pad. The brand traditionally making the shoe of choice for skaters, have updated and sexed up their image and their product merging the new very sleek high top Tosha Hi silhouette with the truly powerful, rock-hop-esque style of Van’s new first lady.
Just like Santigold herself the shoe has a very old school sportswear feel covered in perforated leather but works so well alongside a much more rough urban glamour. These are exactly the footwear you would imagine Santigold to wear and if you don’t have the guts to be as wild head to toe then try from the ankle down. Now we have two things in 2011 to thanks Santigold for, her upcoming album and these hi-flavor hi-tops.
