Check out this stunning video directed by Karim Sadli for the Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2011 men's sneaker collection. It's a beautiful commercial for the shoes but even more so for the models wearing the trainers.
The video features Malthe Lund Madsen, Julius Gerhardt, and Angus Whitehead.
Here's some preview images from the Balmain Homme Spring 2010 campaign. The French label looks great paired with the modeling of Clément Chabernaud and photography of Karim Sadli.
