I consider 2008, one of the best year for men's footwear. Styles and designs were made with the modern man in mind and what he would wear. I liked the fact that a variety of men's footwear styles earned 'must-have' recognitions throughout the year.

Metallic was not just for the ladies. Metallic sneakers were hot for fall. The renaissance of 80's fashion icon, 'hi-top' sneakers were the craze for summer. Prada's Men's Fall / Winter shoe collection made it clear that patent can also be a guy thing. And PUMA went retro-modern to commemorate it's 60th Birthday Celebration.
