Coltrane Curtis Sells his Collection of 1,200 Sneakers for $40,000
Coltrane Curtis, creator of the Overdrive at the MTV site (USA) and creative director of Team Epiphany marketing agency is known not only to be a an influential personality at red carpet events such as MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Movie Awards, but is also famous to be a professional shopaholic and sneakerhead.
Lately Coltrane Curtis has put on sale his huge collection of sneakers that includes as much as 1,200 pairs. He announced the thing in Twitter, so the public wasn’t eager to believe the ad until the celebrity confirmed the act and explained the reasons for it.
Although the rather unexpected, it can be justified by the face that Coltrane Curtis has to find a spare room for his new born child. And it’s a weighty argument, don’t you agree? So the room that is occupied by the large collection of sneakers of all kinds is no become a children’s room now.
Last month Curtis showed his collection of sneakers in Time Out New York magazine. The collection includes several rare models as well as a pair of Nike sneakers sighed by Fresh Prince (an actor Will Smith).
Still, Coltrane Curtis doesn’t want to sell his precious collection of sneakers to a dealer. He precisely defines the portrait of a potential buyer. It should be rapper or a celebrity or a weightlifter. If you belong to either of these categories, have spare $40,000 to spend and your footwear size is 12s you may contact Curtis via Twitter or Facebook. The price for a single pair is about $33, but you can only buy the whole collection of sneakers.
The famous singer Christina Aguilera came to an interview with Mario Lopez for the EXRTA show held at the Grove hotel in Los-Angeles, CA. She came there in splendid black sandals on a high platform from Christian Louboutin Spring-Summer 2011 collection.

These classic Christian Louboutin shoes excellently match the simple yet elegant image of the star. They feature a round pointed toe, a high hidden platform and a thin 6-inch heel. Looks cute, it’s it?
A super model Chrissy Teigen, the flame of John Legend, was spotted in Christian Louboutin booties in the centre of New-York at the presentation held by a business magnate Donald Trump. 
Chrissy Teigen wore Christian Louboutin Miss Fast booties embellished with a leopard print. They are peculiar by a deep cut going down the booties and come with a sexy 4.7-inch high heel. Great, eh?
The creative United Nude designers worked out these booties specially for the Synesthesia shoe collection launched by iris Van Harpen last year. The Synesthesia booties reappeared in Iris Van Harpen Haute Couture 2011 collection shown at Paris fashion Week at the beginning of July. One of the first people to wear these unusual shoes was, of course, Lady Gaga. 
To conclude with, I offer you to pay attention to another image of the extravagant Lady Gaga. Here are the booties on an incredibly high platform that were spotted on Lady Gaga’s feet at MTV Video Music Aid Award Ceremony held in Tokyo suburbs. 
The new footwear construction presupposes a wedge divided into separate parts, the parts being differently colored or featuring materials or textures different from the main part, namely the lower part of the shoe. 
Such ponderous wedges were spotted in Fendi, Casadei, Pierre Hardy and Prada collections. Of course, other shoe-makers offer similar footwear as well. 
Rachel Zoe selects clothes and footwear for numerous Hollywood celebrities. As for her own shoes, she chose Casadei sandals from Spring-Summer 2011 collection. The sandals feature a high wooden platform with a natural texture. The platform is divided into two parts by a contrasting inset made from glittering metal. 
Pay attention at how Rachel Zoe manages to accentuate the sandals. She wears them with wide shortened trousers to show off a nice designer platform of her wedges. 
Jimmy Choo shoes were also spotted on the legs of a Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman. She chose an India classic sandal model colored golden. 
Jennifer Lopez was extremely sexy at the ceremony. She came there wearing an Emilio Pucci dress with a brave slit on the back. 
A young actress Blake Lively wore a semi-transparent dress from Marchesa and Christian Louboutin lacy shoes for Marchesa from Spring 2011 collection. 
An actress Jennifer Garner was spotted in Casadei shoes featuring a massive platform. 
Maria Bello appeared on the BAFTA Brits To Watch red carpet in a new dress from Donna Karan dress from Fall-Winter 2011-2012 collection and put on Rene Caovilla shoes embellished with crystals to match the image. 
Paris High Fashion Week is another possibility for Daphne Guinness to make a brilliant display of her “flying” shoes. She appeared at Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2011 collection show wearing futuristic silver outfits, which looked even more fantastic coupled with massive satin wedges. Note that there’re no heels again. 
The same shoes were spotted of Daphne’s legs at a charity “Love Ball” organized by Natalia Vodyanova. This time Daphne Guinness chose a blue model to match a nice Philip Tracy hat from Armani Privé Fall 2011 collection. A photographer Tommy Ton snapped the celebrity getting out the car with these shoes on. 
This is the shoe design Daphne Guinness has been choosing lately. The shoes are created by a London shoe designer Natacha Marro who in collaboration with Oliver Tickens worked out the shoes for Nina Ricci Fall 2009 show.
Daphne Guinness first tried on heelless shoes in 2009 and still prefers wearing them. Her private shoe collection includes a lot of Natacha Marro airy shoes of various shades and materials. 
Lady Gaga has also chosen green shoes to match the image. Christian Louboutin high heeled green shoes are especially cool in this case as their red soles matche Lady Gaga’s lipstick well. Note that this bright and eccentric image is comprised of classic outfits only. The spice is their color. 
Before the wedding, namely at the wedding rehearsal, as well as on the next day after marriage, Kate Middleton was spotted in neat and comfortable Black Patent Espadrille shoes that immediately drew attention of a number of fashion journalists. 
Except for L.K.Bennett shoes, Kate Middleton wears the beautiful Espadrille shoes equipped with a dark brown wedge. The shoes are designed by Lanvin and cost $550. 
These thigh-high boots feature 22 thousand Swarowki crystals that were placed onto their surface by hand. Moreover, each crystal was manually made, which took 200 working hours. Such unique luxe boots were created to become at attribute of high fashion and to meet present-day hot trends. 
Last year it was a famous singer Rihanna who appeared on stage in these boots, but it was a black version of them. A pop singer, photo model and fashion designer Rihanna is the second artist and the first singer from Barbados to receive the Grammy Award. 
I think you would agree that the designer can turn any plain thing into something so original and sexy that you immediately want to try it on. Take for instance trash shoes. Being non-glamorous in their essence they become fashionable smart shoes in hands of creative designers. Christian Louboutin took the key feature of trash shoes, rubbish, and made it a gorgeous décor element. 
Trash style lovers can fail to identify Christian Louboutins in trash styled shoes, but Louboutin admirers have already put an eye on its sexy and glamorous trash shoes. For instance, it was Beyonce who has been lately spotted wearing trash Christian Louboutins from their 2011 collection.
