Suits and Sneakers by Élevée Lifestyle is always a highly anticipated event here in Arizona. There’s something us Phoenicians love about seeing well dressed men strut the runway (okay, let’s be honest… that’s probably not Phoenix specific). The excitement for the event this year was over the top, fueled by the arrival of celebrities and athletes for Super Bowl XLIX.

The W Scottsdale was an optimal location for the event. Right in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, the crowd was in the mood to party and the bartenders made sure that everyone had their fair share of a good time.

Odell Beckham Jr. hosted the event, and treated Élevée’s Instagram followers to an Instagram takeover before the show that included behind the scenes shots and of course, selfies. (Check out @eleveelifestyle to see the pics.)

The turnout for the event couldn’t have been better (no seriously, I don’t think they could fit any more people up on that pool deck). Athletes, Out-of-towners, and of course Scottsdale’s finest made their way to the W to celebrate great fashion and have a good time.

I was insanely excited to see one “celebrity” in particular…. (which may have resulted in a bit of a fan girl moment).

Jiff, one of Instagram’s favorite pups and star (basically) of Katy Perry’s Dark Horse music video, was out for a good time. He took selfies with the models backstage and of course, had his moment on the runway.

Percy Knox Jr., President of Élevée Lifestyle, introduced the line and thanked every one for coming out. The audience applauded and cheered, making it obvious how much respect everyone has for this brand and the man behind it.

Overall the show was a complete success and the audience loved seeing their favorite athletes trade in their uniforms for suits and their cleats for sneakers.
