Thuong Dinh is the latest brand of trainers to hit the market. However, they weren't just created yesterday, as their history is firmly anchored in that of Vietnam since 1957.

Originally, the brand was the official army supplier. Situated just outside of Hanoi, they were even bombarded by the American B-52's during the war. The factory workers came together to participate in their city's defence, creating trenches and designing an anti-aerial shield in the heart of the factory. In 1961, the brand designed their first trainers, which at the time were designed for badminton and Plumfoot, a local sport played with a shuttlecock and often host to acrobatic movements. 

Today, it's fashion fans who can't get enough of Thuong Dinh shoes!

We are convinced that this century-old brand straight from the United States is sure to be a hit in the United Kingdom, and that's why Spartoo.co.uk has released the new collection of country and motorcycle boots from Frye.

Created in 1863 by the namesake English shoe-maker, Frye is the oldest shoe manufacturer in the United States. Worn during the civil war by both the confederate forces and the union soldiers, Frye boots were also worn by US soldiers who fought with the allies during the Second World War. It was in updating their most famous model of the time, the Harness, that the brand made a name for themselves in the fashion world and became a must-have for anyone who loves the biker look.

For more than 150 years, Frye has made it their mission to propose high-quality products that are durable, functional, and comfortable, which are always made from the finest leathers. Tradition is very important to the brand, and traditional artistry is at the heart of their manufacturing process. To give you an idea, 190 steps are carried out in the manufacturing of a Frye shoe!

Authentic, vintage, and full of character, it's easy to see why trendsetters and fashionistas love these fashionable boots!

For the past 40 years, Dr.Martens has called upon numerous names in fashion such as  Jean-Paul Gaultier to customise their emblematic model (the 1460), this year Dr Martens has chosen to celebrate their 50 year anniversary with ten artists from the international rock scene who have been called upon to feature the shoe in a music clip. Noisettes, The Duke Spirit, DaM FunK… so many modern groups that have been chosen to represent the rebellious and authentic spirit of the brand. a

No need to say that since their development for orthopaedic purposes, the Doc has come a long way! While their first fans in the 1960s were the working class, the punk scene was quick to take them and make them the emblem of a non-conformist and rebellious generation. In the '70s and '80s, groups like The Who, The Clash, and The Cure brought them to a wider fan base.

In the 1990s, they became iconic among rebellious celebrities like Johnny Depp, Lenny Kravitz, and Gwen Stefani, and in 2009 the  Doc made a real comeback, this time in the haute-couture world of fashion. Fashionable celebrities and famous models wear them for every occasion! Among them Agyness Deyn, Lindsay Lohan and Pixie Geldof  dress them up and down with  different designers, propelling them into the category of must have fashion!

To celebrate the opening of their new boutique in New York, right in front of the Empire State Building, Geox has designed a limited edition collection of high heels that pay tribute to the world's best known skyscraper. What's unique: a 12 cm high heel in the form of the monument.

Creating an element of surprise, the Italian brand has expressed a strong desire to reinvent and modernise their image. " We are in the process of redefining our style", confirms Mario Moretti Polegato, president and founder of Geox, during the inauguration of the New York store.

A guaranteed success considering that these creative high heels also benefit from a glamourous and fun design. A real improvement for the brand that is best known for their breathable soles rather than their style.
