Hello to all Spring Court alumn out there and welcome to the Official "Holes In My Sole" Spring Court Lifestyle blog. Since the worldwide scene is pretty shy about expressing itself on favorite Spring Courts, we felt a brand with so much cool factor and heritage deserved a real place in the sneaker culture where its fans can brag about their own relationship with the "true original”.

Spring Court Shoes Ranked in Esquire Mag TOP 10

Esquire Magazine's "The Esquire Ten" ranks Spring Court shoes at #2 as one of the "items on earth that markedly impreove the quality of you life."

Here's what they had to say about it:

2 The Spring Court Sneaker

Look closely at the cover of Abbey Road, as you've done before, only this time it would be helpful if you weren't high. Paul is barefoot, which was one of the album's supposed clues that he was dead, when actually it was our first clue that he was a pant load. John is resplendent, looking Jesus-like in a white suit paired with these, Spring Court G2 tennis shoes. Damn, I'd look good in a pair of those, you think. Nike thinks so, too, so it is issuing its own copycat version with (in typical Yoko licensing handiwork) Lennon's image and a quote from "Imagine" on the toe. But you want the real thing. Thankfully, Spring Court still makes the G2's in France, exactly the same way it's been doing since before the Maginot Line was completed. They are hand constructed of Egyptian-cotton canvas and soft white rubber. They have little ventilation portholes on the side and, when new, smell vaguely of peppermint. They are to sneakers what Scarlett Johansson's mouth is to mouths. And they are to your style, at $70, a bargain.
