26 Pairs of Preppy Kicks

From Deconstructed Italian Kicks to Luxury High-Tops

— May 31, 2010 — Fashion
Man cannot live in sneakers alone. I am an admitted sneaker junky, so I know there is nothing like a nice clean, casual pair of preppy kicks.

Preppy shoes with roots in east coast cool would previously only be seen worn at Yale, Harvard, in the Hamptons or on the Kennedy Compound are now everywhere. Preppy kicks are being embraced worldwide. From deconstructed Italian kicks to luxury high-tops, there is a pair for every well-dressed chap.
