Well-known British designer Alexander McQueen teamed up with Puma to create a line of anatomically stylish sneakers. Known for his innovative approach to fashion, Alexander McQueen is an established luxury brand with a strong international following. The AMQ Vascular is just one of many designs available in the AMQ Puma line. It may also be the one design best suited for both work and play.

Style

There are a multitude of styles available for both men and women in the AMQ Puma line. The line also does lend an entirely unique look to their various sneaker designs. Searching for a dressy men's shoe that has the comfort of a sneaker? Want a more traditional street sneaker? Looking for a bold colored sneaker that will gather looks? There may be a shoe for everyone in this designer line.

The AMQ Vascular maintains a low profile and can lead a dual-life. It's a dress shoe and a sneaker. You almost can't go wrong. It is also one of the safer selections available in the line. Its simplicity goes a long way in making it the most adaptable style for different occasions.

The overall design of the AMQ Vascular is delightfully deceiving. Viewed from the front, they appear to be an upscale casual dress shoe. Take a look from the back and they take the form of a sneaker. One wouldn't bat an eye if you wore the AMQ Vascular's along with a nice pair of dress slacks to work. At the same time, you wouldn't go wrong if you slipped these on before heading out for a night on the town with friends or for a more intimate date.

Conclusion

McQueen is known for pushing boundaries and delivering intricate craftsmanship in his collections. The keyword here is "designer," as the price tag for the AMQ Vascular runs at $260 retail. On the other hand, the overall craftsmanship and materials used makes up for the price. These are definitely a pair of sneakers that can take the wearer a long way, both literally and figuratively.
