tba - the ones that got away

To Be Announced is a capsule collection based out of Spain. Each shoe is hand crafted with attention to detail, unique styling, wearability, function and care. Each collection we deliver tells a unique story, and this season is no different.

THE ONES THAT GOT AWAY is a collection of shoes named after failed one night stands, terrifying dates, long lost first loves, lifetime crushes that have never quite healed, and heart-wrenching tales of romance and attraction. This collection serves as a diary entry and a moving on period, a letting go. We dedicate this range to THE ONES THAT GOT AWAY.

We hope you enjoy this collection and the affairs which inspired it. There are so many amazing shoes in this range - and we hope that you fall in love with them over-and-over. TBA is offered exclusively in the USA at SOLESTRUCK.com and we thank them for their help in making this flip book. We hope you enjoy this collection.

JAKE: I know it’s silly since we were literally childhood crushes - but when I saw on your Facebook that you got married, I blocked you from my feed. Three months later I was still so annoyed, I deleted you.

ALVAREZ: I know it’s cliché to have met someone on Myspace, but I thought it sounded romantic to have a Spanish lover. Oops.

FRANKY: Every time I saw you from across a bar you were drinking a whiskey. I think it was Makers Mark. By the time I got up the courage to speak to you a year had passed from the first time I saw you. We fooled around once - but I would bet we were both too drunk to remember the details. Even to this day when I see you socially, I cannot help but say…“hot damn the boy is fine.”

IRISH: I know I should have told my parents you were closer to their age than mine when I first took you home - but I was hoping your accent and charm would win them over.

JUSTIN: When you started seeing that foreign exchange student from Denmark our senior year - I went a little crazy. I guess I knew that a frozen 40oz bottle of beer would, in theory, bust through the front window of your parents house if propelled from a speeding geo metro - but at the root of it, I just wanted you back.

KINE: I met you one night over ten years ago in a small and dark bar in the East Village. Ever since that night, and the following morning, I have been wondering if you were the one. You would think with a name like Kine I could dig up some dirt on you with the Internet. Damn, I never thought I would fall for someone wearing a sweat pant in public.

STORM: Knock knock? Who’s there? Me still! MARRY ME!

TIMMY: Thanks for ruining the majority of my 20’s. I should invoice you for all the therapy. Hadn’t seen you in years, then 4 weeks ago I ran into you in a bar in my neighborhood. Yeah, you’re a mess, but the first love always has that undeniable spot. Thanks for the shot. PS. I stole your favorite sleeping bag.

WILL: While normally I would never date someone that was “almost” divorced, you swept me off my feet in a local hardware store, after I mistook you for an employee. After a torrid romance that lasted a year - and well into your divorced months - you were swept away by the witness protection program. I found out 12 hours before you were leaving. While I got bits of the story, I to this day have never really gotten the full details on your secret life.

JIM: We met on a transatlantic flight and hit it off. I got nervous so when we landed and I made my way to baggage claim and you got ready to head to connections, I offered you my copy of Interview Magazine. “I’m all finished, you might need it,” I said. I kissed your cheek and scooted away. I had written my number in sharpie on like 20 pages. You never called.

JOHNNY: I came to the café where you worked everyday for coffee. By Everyday, I mean for years. Not sure how I missed out on this one. I should tell you that your hummus plate gives me a tummy ache - but I ordered it all those times anyways. I drove by the shop 3 weeks ago, only to see it had closed.

JAMES: You are one of those guys who is never-ever single. In the moment that you were, I was living out of state. Now I am back, and you are so coupled off, not even I can deny how good the two of you look together. Here’s to bad timing!

LOUIS: One of the only flames from my early 20’s that evolved into a solid friendship. I still laugh about all of our adventures from those years in Brooklyn. Sorry I went home with that guy while you were in the bathroom. That was a bad move on my part. See you in Key West when we are sixty! Cheers boo!

PK: I met you while you were bartending and I asked you to arm wrestle. You will never know if I let you win or not. I left you my phone number on a ticket stub from a Justin Timberlake concert. Who knew such a steamy meeting would have such an anti-climactic existence.

DAVE: Again, I realize it is cliche to sleep with ANYONE at your ten-year reunion. However, I started doing shots in the car about 8 blocks before I arrived. I think it was that combined with the nerves that really did it to me. And the lingering crush I had on you since Sophomore year. It’s always a great feeling to wake up next to someone in a Holiday Inn and instead of them saying, “Wanna get brunch?” You whispered, “I have a girlfriend in Seattle,” while you stroked my cheek with your hand. EWWW.
