Hollywood loves cool shoes by Creative Recreation, Los Angeles footwear company

creative recreation shoes
Creative Recreation is a, Los Angeles based,  lifestyle footwear company that specializes in stylish men’s, women’s and children’s sneakers, heels, wedges and boots. It’s mission is to create a collection of footwear that transcends all stereotypes. Shoes were developed and constructed with the goal to maintain a fashionable look whether being worn with slacks and a button-up or jeans and a t-shirt. These shoes are very cool looking and have been seen on the feet of Hollywood’s most stylish actors and musicians. 

According to online retailer Zappos, Creative Recreation was launched in the fall of 2002 in order to fill a void in the footwear market. Up until this time, no one was offering footwear to young professionals with style. The three founders set out to innovate the market and were able to incorporate the comfort of an athletic shoe with the materialization of a dress shoe to create the ultimate crossbreed, resulting in the Creative Recreation men’s and Creative Recreation women’s shoe collection.

Creative Recreation sneakers grew from the concept that this generation wasn’t going to follow the same old well-traveled roadmaps of previous times.

Imaginative and original, Creative Recreation sneakers will bring amusement to your senses.

These shoes are indeed very colorful and cool looking. Check out their website. Unfortunately, the website felt very inconvenient: hard to navigate and, the small print is, hard to read.
