Parra recently collaborated with Etnies Plus on these sneakers and as with many of Rockwell’s tees, the design is unique and bold while retaining a classic look. The white version features high quality micro perforated leather, a deep embossed croc skin side panel and the Rockwell brand logo embroidered on the heel. This shoe is one of those rare shoes that you can rock from the moment you get out of bed, throughout the day, and to any high class restaurant and nightclub you might go to in the evening. The more adventurously colored version is definately the attention getter, with bright full grain leather, pink patent leather on the tongue and heel panels and again the Rockwell logo embroidered near the heel. Only a few hundreds pairs were released in both colors and are available in men’s and women’s. These along with a few other models from Etnies Plus’ Spring 2007 line are now available online at Versus.
