Creative Recreation remains among the very few independent sneaker brands that managed to catch longterm momentum in the lifestyle market. Today we show you some of the stand-out styles of the new Holiday 2009 Collection. The line has grown to such a big size, that it is impossible to show everything. Our favorite include the new tartan sneakers, as well as the subtle styles and the metallic accentuated ones. The brand offers a wide range of footwear these days, ranging from high top to low top sneakers and boots.

While at Capsule NY, our brethren from Selectism caught a glimpse of Creative Recreation’s Spring 2010 line. “Forthcoming looks from their main line have strong details and inspirations from their “Italian” line. Smooth lines and muted undertones are the focus on many of these forthcoming styles. Creative Rec continues to switch up their style and bring fresh looks again and again.”

We present you the Creative Recreation Fall 2009 Footwear collection. Once again the California brand offers a wide selection of styles and colorways, offering something for every taste. As usual we like the more simple styles and colors in premium materials the best. After the jump we present you our favorites from the Creative Recreation Fall 2009 Collection.

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.

Today we can give you a first look at the Creative Recreation Summer 2009 Sneakers. The brand scaled back a little this season, which was more than needed. In the last couple of years their collections had become so large, it was almost impossible to keep track. Also colors are a little more subtle this Summer 2009 season and as a result we are seeing an overall very solid collection.
