Started in the early 90’s, Eley Kishimoto is the duo of Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, a couple of really creative fashion designers who’ve worked with some of the biggest names out there. They also created a fantastic little print called Flash, which adorns the shoes you see above. Their form is based after Chuck Taylor’s giving them a classic look but the all over Flash print makes these totally unique without being over the top.

They’re available at A.P.C.’s online shop for $140 BUT the whole site is in Japanese and I doubt they’d ship outside of Japan. I wonder if the store here in LA has these? Also be sure to check out Eley Kishimoto’s blog which even features some photos of Sebastian Tellier playing live.

1. They’re based in London actually. I went to their A/W08 show during London Fashion Week last year - really wicked stuff, and amazing prints!

   Apropos Tellier, I went to his concert in Scala (London) three weeks ago, and he was really f****d up. I have seen him before, and I would like to tell him he should stay a little sober when on stage! Bloody french ;-)
