Stella McCartney for Adidas

As part of a long and revered tradition of designers creating lines for non-designer brands (think Karl Lagerfeld or Viktor & Rolf for H & M), Stella McCartney has teamed up with adidas to offer some sleek-looking clothing, footwear, and accessories.  The Fall/Winter 07 line is going to be released for sale in August, but in the meantime, Spring/Summer stuff is on sale at the adidas web site.  In particular, the sleek shoes can be had for some easy-on-the-wallet prices.

My favorite of these footwear offerings?  Hands down the Amyrina ballet-inspired ankle-tie slipper.  It comes in three adorable color combinations–black and gold, white and gold , and (my favorite) sea foam green with coral pink striped ribbons.

The black and white versions are down to $45 from their original $60, but the blue/pink one is only $36.  That’s like spending a couple weeks’ allowance money to get an adorable designer shoe.  Plus, it looks like there’s a pretty thorough size selection still available.  Go forth and score, my shoe-loving friends!
