Jump Paxton – Classy Shoe

I picked up this pair of Paxton kicks from Jump in Soho the other weekend. These shoes are somewhere between dressy and casual – a nice all purpose pair. The shoe is patent leather with a pony hair upper. Very nice. I believe these are a relatively old release from Jump, so they’re pretty cheap at the Soho store if they still have them in stock.  I love that Jump has such a wide variety of shoe styles, but manages to kill it on all fronts.

The Jump Vanquish

A better look at Jump’s Vanquish which I blogged about back in February. A bit of a better shot with Gao Di’s new camera. This is what I call sneaker porn. Rocked these on a gig last week. I love these kicks.

Jump Shoes – Copper Volunteer

Again, here is Jump, solidifying their place in my book as one of the most badass footwear brands out there. I’ve had the silver Volunteer since they came out maybe 2 years ago, but I just finally managed to get a pair of the shoes in copper for contrast. John, who introduced me to Jump, actually has these, but with him temporarily out of NY he gave his blessing for me to cop a pair for myself and rock them without being a “swagger jacker.”

Check out those kicks, looks like something an Evangelion would wear. Or Metal Mario? The color is amazing, and I know from seeing John’s pair, that these shoes will look badass with some wear and tear.

Jump’s Sneaker Deluxe Collection – The Vanquish

I am a huge fan of Jump, a footwear brand that originated in Taiwan. Simply put, their sneakers are badass. I owe my knowledge of the brand to my old roommate, John, who knew some of the guys over at Jump and told me to get down with their sneaks. I stepped into Jump’s Soho Boutique last week where they were offering a 30% discount in celebration of the Chinese New Year & Valentine’s Day. Awesome.

I snagged a pair of Jump’s Vanquish sneakers from their Sneaker Deluxe collection in Grey Nappa. These bad boys were released last year and I’ve been wanting them since… nothing like a good discount to incent me. These shoes are awesome. When you get a pair of shoes from the Sneaker Deluxe collection you’re given a nice large canvas Jump bag. The packaging is also super slick, coming in a large black box simply with the Jump and Sneaker Deluxe logos embossed in gold. As an added bonus, you get two beautiful carrying cases to house your righty and lefty sneak.

The Jump Vanquish is a beautiful shoe. My grey pair came with two pairs of laces… white laces for a more casual look and dark grey laces for a nice dressed-up feel. I’ve currently got them laced grey. At $188, these badass kicks come at a bit of a hefty price, but they are super comfortable and when I wear them I just can’t stop looking at my feet.

Check out Jump’s blog for some other cool Vanquish colorways.

Jump is really starting to get all over the map these days and I suggest you go grab a pair.
