Move over Chuck Taylor....

We all know that the Chuck Taylors by Converse are the ultimate sneakers for fashionistas. However, there's a new sheriff in town, by the name of Upper Echelon Shoes. UES has taken the sneaker to a whole new level or echelon, if you will. :-) Their sneakers combine comfort and sex appeal with a side of edginess.

UES's mission is simply stated as "SHOEWLERY!". According to UES, Shoewlery is defined as "creating new and elevating current trends to an Upper Echelon through intricate detail and styling with jewelry accent". And all I can say to that is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! The use of chains in addition to shoelaces on the Nise shoe is one of the most creative details I've seen on a sneaker in quite some time! Check out the pics below to see both the leather and denim versions of this shoe. These shoes are guaranteed to garner attention and spark conversation.

Now, don't get me wrong. These are no substitutes for the original Chuck Taylors that are classic and timeless. However, to add a little va-va-voom to your sneaker game and to showcase your inner urbanista, grab a pair of Nises or any of the other UES styles from Tipsntrends.com.

**UPDATE**

Hubby bought me a pair of UES! Check them out here along with some of my shoe collection favorites.
