Raf Simons 2009 Spring/ Summer Trainers

This looks a lot like the future of trainers. It's a very forward approach to footwear in a time when most lines are trying to go back to the classic looks. I like the idea of replacing laces with straps and I look forward to seeing how other lines interpret the idea and produce their own laceless trainers.  I think that the straps really alter the appearance of the trainers and it also makes them so much more accessible. So overall the velcro straps are a good idea.
