we ♥ press

by

 

Its SO rewarding to find ourselves on press.

NY Magazine wrote about our store on their shopping page, woo hoo!

 

 

Here’s what they wrote about us.

 

“Situated off the bustling Bedford Avenue strip, Shoe Market is a nerd-chic tribute to the greatest hits in footwear from the 1950s through the 1980s. A spin-off of the Technicolor women’s boutique Mini Mini Market around the corner, this one-room space is decked out in decidedly darker tones, with wares displayed on shelves surrounding a mod living-room set. You won’t find pointy toes or stilettos here. Instead, the owners pride themselves on offering styles that are as functional as they are comfortable. Top sellers include classic Frye boots, Sven clogs, and a fun range of Tretorn trainers for guys. More contemporary looks can be found among the children’s selections; like baby Converse All-Stars and bedazzled saddle shoes. — Carolyn Murnick”

how to look good in foul weather

by

 

Winter time in NY is not the best time to dress/look good. It’s windy, it can snow or rain and it’s cold!

Well it’s not the end of the world, though. All you have to do is TO BE PREPARED.

 

 

 

 

For Ladies, our ‘Aston’ Boots from Hunter at Shoe Market are great choice. They look great with your colorful tights, or cute wool socks. The wedge sole makes you look fashionable in boring rainy/snowy days.

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget about your BF or Husband! And don’t worry, We got a new boots from Hunter called Kerrera. Put your man into those and they will be happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For your kids, We also got  nice boots from Hunter. Actually We have them for Men, Women and for Kids, so you can be all matchy match! Woo hoo!

 

 

 

 

 

If you are more serious about being warm and practical, ‘Kelly Vinter’ from Tretorn is perfect for you. Chic look + Shearling inside? = need to say more?

 

 

 

Also it’s ALWAYS nice to have some practical umbrellas. It keeps your hair keep looking awesome and if you are wearing a fur, RAIN IS BAD for them. It makes fur shed!!!

Mini Mini Market got these awesome bubble umbrellas!

 

 

 

 

Ok, now you got some ideas. Just take a walk to Bedford, come to our stores, get some gears and you are all set for the winter!

Shoe Market + Jeffrey Campbell = Burglar!?

We are so excited to announce our new collaboration with Jeffrey Campbell is finally here.

 Shoe Market + Jeffrey Campbell/ Burgler in Black Combo $175

 Burglar in Brown/Black $175

 

 

 

I’ve always wondered  how ‘Collabo Items’ are being created.

Do so many fashion brands just borrow names from famous people, then put their name on the products??!!

Are they really creating items together??

 

 

Ok Mama, I will tell you how WE do it.

 

 

 

 

It’s actually tons of work..

  1. Start talking to Jeffrey what kind of style We would like to create. Do some research, find some good images etc.
  2. Think about details. Leather, Color,Sole,Stitches ….. aaah so many little things to think about. Then tell Jeffrey Campbell our images.
  3. JC orders samples to their factory in Asia, We wait to receive them.
  4. Check out the samples, usually there’s always something that we would like to change, so tell those things to the factory. (This back and force sometimes goes on forever)
  5. When finally We are happy with our creation, We release our order to the factory.
  6. WAIT…for like 6 month to receive them.

 

 

 

 

Now you know how excited We are to finally see our babies on selling floor, also how it came out.

 

Thank you Jeffrey Campbell ♥

These babies are ONLY AVAILABLE at SHOE MARKET (proud parents!!),

Get your special pair here before they run out.

 

Warning : You might accidentally steal so many hearts on the street with your instant- chic look in those shoes!!

Take A Look: 80%20 Spring Video Lookbook

by
We can’t stop gushing about our excitement for the new 80%20 Spring line, so to continue on our this joyous shoe rant, we’ve got the line’s new Spring lookbook–in video format, hey yaaaa! Shot on our neighborhood’s iconic bridge, The Williamsburg Bridge, the lookbook video is a fun few minutes with the band, Yacht’s “Psychic City (Classixx Remix)” to serenade the ride and video. 80%20 really makes it seem anything is possible in a heel–or a wedge, for that matter. Ride safe and easy this Spring/Summer ladies! (Click on image below to see video.)
