Let the festivities rage on, DNA Beauties!! Love, L S.Granados Dive into Spring with the new Tretorn collectionThursday, April 11th, 2013Unless you are planning to run the next marathon, it is time to ditch your athletic shoes for a pair of canvas sneaker this spring. Our pick? Some of Tretorn’s cutest kicks: the Nylite, the Dagny, and for you gentlemen, we love the Otto Canvas! They look great with shorts, jeans, and chinos. Get your shopping list started, you are going to love them! Tretorn’s Women Dagny canvas shoe pays homage to the days when women came into their own. A sturdy canvas oxford upper is accented with white leather piping, gold eyelets, and a pop color racing stripe on the back. A sneaker-like rubber outsole makes this shoe fit for the decks and the dance.
And what about the Nylite kick below, we just love them! It will literally be your black pump of sport shoes, pairing with everything from a preppy ensemble to a little summer dress.
Stepping outside of the preppy box, the incredibly comfortable and unusually handsome Otto Canvas is the perfect balance between boat shoe and sneaker. Designed to complement the modern man’s preferred sense of style, the Otto Canvas effortlessly transitions with him from day time errands & leisure, to play time adventures & pleasure–no sailboat required!
Sneaker lovers, these are must-haves! By Josi Blanc et Noir : Classic Black & WhiteTuesday, March 12th, 2013This season, the exuberant two tone trend is joyfully colorful. Still, the epitome of classic style will always be black & white. The Fashion Week gods of greater influence (like Alexander Wang, Jason Wu & Marc Jacobs, et al) have deemed it high time to bring us all back to basics, superbly in vogue, with distinguished exhibitions sans color.  Loyal to the demands of haute couture, a few of our favorite starlets showed up to Paris Fashion week’s front rows in chic versions of the effortlessly sexy monochrome look. Proving that a fashionista’s individual style need not be sacrificed to the whim of any trend, these ladies show us how easy it is to be inspired by the current tendencies, while staying true to our sensibilities.

L S.Granados Red Wing & Wolverine 1000 Mile: My All-American bootsWednesday, February 20th, 2013Ladies, this spring, let’s get ready for some ol’ all-American footwear. Whether you’re still lusting after the Wolverine 1000 Mile by Samantha Pleet’s Fall collection, or can’t take your eyes off Ryan Gosling’s…famous 1907 Heritage Red Wing boots, we’ve got what you need for your shoe closet. For the first time this season, DNA Footwear is getting two styles of the very popular Red Wing Heritage line, for us ladies. Even if these things appear bulky at first, the 8111 Iron Ranger’s double layered leather, and Nitrile cork sole create a unique look that will mold perfectly to your foot over time.
Fear not about light scuffs and scratches from everyday use; these will only add character and heroic marks of pride to the quality craftsmanship of these USA born styles. The thick rippled sole of the 9111 Round Toe will help add some inches to those of us who need a bit more height.
Another well-known all-American designer collaboration is coming back to DNA, with pastel palettes and soft leather. This spring season, Brooklyn-based designer Samantha Pleet, and heritage boot-makers, Wolverine, are merging the vintage with the new, to encapsulate the modern woman. The Wolverine 1000 Mile Collection by Samantha Pleet reflects the designer’s one-of-a kind, mystical-meets-modern design aesthetic that bends the rules of time and space, transporting your soles to a vintage place.
