80s-Inspired Graphic Sneakers

Melody Ehsani’s Love Shoe Will Turn Heads

Melody Ehsani has teamed up with Reebok to create a line of Melody Ehsani Love shoes for release in Spring 2014. Ehsani has teamed up with the Shoe giant in the past for its BETWIXT line. For the Love collaboration, one particular shoe stands out from the rest, and a prototype of the shoe has been making the rounds before the final version debuts in stores next year.

The design is an explosion of primary colors against a graphic, monochromatic background, which lends itself to an 80s vibe. The shoe features three bands – red, yellow and blue – and a jaunty silver “Love” piece to top it off.

This shoe is not for the shy, wallflower type; it’s an instant attention-grabber. So if you’re a sneaker fan who likes to be seen and recognized for the dynamic designs on your feet, definitely check out the Melody Ehsani Love Shoe.
