Bread and Butter Barcelona

A short slide show from Bread and Butter in Barcelona July 4th, 5th, and 6th. This was the first time for me to go to this show. I was not very impressed. Besides all of the obvious big brands, there where many smaller footwear brands making a go at it; Diadora, Gant, Rubber Ducky, Hummel, Munich, Feiyne, No Brand, Rocket Dog, Ben Sherman, DKNY, Superdry, Kawasaki(Italy), etc. A lot of skate brands were representing. Everyone was showing the "Keds" silhouette. The three most interesting things that I saw was; Creative Recreation has stepped it up and are looking more sophisticated. United Nude was showing a new style that was organic in the forefoot and intersected with a simple geometric heel. The combination of the two forms was very nice. Also that a couple of brands like Keds and Etnies(I think) were showing female footwear silhouettes that had some form of a heel or wedge. Two things interesting about Barcelona, girls are not afraid to wear sneakers and most people like to wear color.
