Earmuffed Kicks

These Bound Mid Fur Sneakers by Puma x Alexander McQueen Keeps Your Ankles Warm

— April 15, 2011 — Fashion
It's too bad that it's not winter anymore because these Bound Mid Fur sneakers by Puma and Alexander McQueen are definitely hot. Speaking of hot, these furry shoes would probably keep you ultra warm too, or at least it would in the ankle area.

A thick fur detail wraps around the upper half of the shoe, making these kicks look super rad. It's almost like the shoes are adorably wearing a pair of earmuffs around the ankles. The fur embellishment is the perfect touch to give these high-top kicks an edgy and glamorous look.

These shoes are a part of the Autumn 2011 collection. Admiring these uber stylish Bound Mid Fur sneakers makes me want the fall weather to arrive sooner rather than later.
