Manila Shoe Expo

MEL-FLEX.
that is the material that these shoes are made of.
it’s basically like plastic. …making it really bendy and nice for walking (especially in the rain, i guess).

let’s have a look, shall we.. :

…there’s the charming “disco”, the playful “esmeralda”, the silver pointed-wedge, cute flats with hearts/polkadots, a gold shoe that doesn’t look plastic to me, the “ultra wedge”, cute yellow “sweetlips”! and some slip-ons.

…so, HOW exactly do we wear them if they’re plastic? checkout their runway:

so…do you wanna buy some of these? they say it’s a must-have.
the good news is, we can actually try these shoes on and see for ourselves
…because melissa is now in Manila! yay!!!

so recently i went to this gig in quezon city. and there i was…
–stalking people’s footwear!!

…yeah, the rain didnt stop.

…and yeah, this is the launching of the newest category of this blog..”paparazzhoe!” hahah!!! cheesy!!!!! but that’s the point! lol!

anyway, so here they are:

->this pair was worn by a guy standing across from where i was sitting. i dont know what his shoes are, exactly. but they look cool. and they’re yellow! really great on a rainy day! i have a yellow windbreaker!

->these are marie jamora’s chucks. orange laces! ..with silver thread! classic. oh dont we just love to wear out our chucks! i had this pair …and i put duct tape on it cos it had a hole in it. then my sister threw it away cos she thought i didnt need them anymore! ouch! …anyway, we love our chucks more when they’re ratty and old, right?

->my friend said these are ice cream sneakers. i thought they were pumas! im such a loser! haha! this one’s quark henares. wonder if there are stores that sell these here in manila. how much do these cost?

-> miggy abesamis. vans. nope, he’s not amputated. he was just crossing his legs. hehe.

->and another vans guy who was crossing his legs too… fil viyernes. alias “filtikwas”. hehe. i wonder where they get these old old old vans sneakers.

->ok, im guessing these are vans as well… look! click on the photo and checkout the prints! plus…the high-cut factor! aw! when i saw this guy’s shoes, i was hoping he would walk past me so i could take a picture. ….and i was able to! great!

->do you know your puma? im not sure if i do…! im not sure if im reading this correctly, but it says, “puma match”. these sure look hot! no… -cool! these were being worn by kaka quisumbing. did i spell his name correctly? on the right, on the other hand, is owel alvero’s nike.

->jazz nicolas was wearing orange crocs! bright colors really lift our spirits on rainy days, dont they?

->another pair of pumas!…worn by dennis villanueva. water-resistant,indeed!

->on the left, we spotted our all time dependable chucks canvas. we love to wear them when we’re cowboy mode! like, it’s really alright if they get soiled because they’re meant to be dirty. the dirtier, the comfy-er! now, it was obvious that this person kinda walked in the rain. and towards the center, the one and only person i saw that night wearing a one-star converse! with reflectors! they’re really helpful, you know! like when you’re walking by the highway to where your car is parked. ..yet again, it’s water-resistant!

->mike benedicto wore these white slip-ons. definitely not vans, i suppose.? interesting material. wonder where he shopped for those.

-> mong alcaraz, vans camou slip-ons. i didnt recognize him. he had more weight on him the last time i saw him. i thought he was the bloomfields bassist! lol!

… AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!!! DONT LET THE RAIN STOP YOU! ….YOU STOP THE RAIN! ..JUST KIDDING! HAHA!

ooooooooooooohhh! so cool!! i saw it in Crossings Department Store
(The Ramp) in Trinoma. I forgot which brand, though. I immediately
“ran away” when the sales attendant prohibited me to take pictures! -yeah, she shooed me, alright! lol!

anyway, it costs around two thousand pesos. and it’s imported. that’s fo’sho’!

Finally, I was able to go to Trinoma Mall–the newest mall by Ayalamalls, located in EDSA cor. North Ave. Yep, the new one across SM North.

I wasn’t able to browse through all the stores that are already opened (cos a lot are still closed and under construction), ..so here are the shoe stores that I was able to see when I went there:

CELINE -at that time, they were on sale, however, they didn’t have anything that i found interesting.

VNC! yeah, I was able to see some cute and girly shoes. -ranging from
1,500-2,000 pesos. here they are:

..and now, you don’t need to go to the Fort High Street!

PEDRO: i just learned that it’s a Singaporean brand. Here’s a sample:
This costs 4,700 & is made of genuine leather.

Charles & Keith… here’s a cute style (it costs around Php 2,200 if i remember correctly):

PUMA: just love it. Oh and I think I also saw a Nike store..

>>>well..that’s about it.. i promise to update you with a part 2 when i have time to go back to Trinoma. Shoe ya!
