We present an early preview of the upcoming Creative Recreation Fall/Winter 2010 Footwear Collection. Spit into various lines, Creative Recreation takes an overall more classic approach on their sneakers, especially in terms of colors and materials. Also each category will see releases of new silhouettes in F/W 2010. The “Made in Italy” premium collection looks very different from previous seasons and takes a much more fashionable and grown-up approach, even moving away from what we perceive as a sneaker.

We take a first look at the Creative Recreation Italian Collection for Fall 2009. In their premium collection, the California brand presents a series of high and low top sneakers in premium materials. Most interesting for Fall 2009 is for sure the sneaker with the removable upper. The ankle part can be zipped of. We have to admit that this system has not excited us in the past. Creative Recreation certainly makes it look cleaner. The Creative Recreation Italian Collection Fall 2009 offering will soon be available at Carve/Blends and other premium footwear retailers.
