Cole Haan - LUNAGRAND Chukkas
When Cole Haan launched their Lunagrand wingtips they were a revolution, these chukkas are slick, but with a down-to-earth sole
Barker Black shop NYC
Interesting presentation with the shoe shaper as the stand.
As always, finding ways to uniquely modernize classic styles is a sign of great design.

Harry’s of London - Wingtip Oxfords, Dark Brown
A very nice modernization of the classic style. The stitching is clean and simple, and the cap-toe features no extra detailing you would usually see on a wingtip, its very modern, but i like it.

Red Wing Boots - 6” Black Classic Moc
These are simple, clean boots. The lines are not bulky, and the boots don’t look chunky. They are slim, and sturdy, and ready to walk the city. Just found a pair of these at a local consignment shop in the East Village for $45.00…that’s a steal, and they fit and feel great. 9Sharp
New Balance 574 in Navy Blue and Grey
This is the perfect casual day sneaker for a long walk. Its understated, got great shape, and is super comfortable.
Top: Junya Watanabe - Wingtip Sneakers
Bottom: Generic Surplus - Wingtip Sneakers
Those Junya Watanabe sneakers are sharp, clean lines, simple stitching, and the red insole is an incredible detail. Still, they probably run at least a few hundred dollars, likely more. On the bottom are a pair of Generic Surplus Wingtips (I own the same pair in tan). They are super comfortable, basics, clean, crisp, and have lasted over a year. Save the money - the style is just as great.
Folk Joe. Blue Suede, with Tan leather detailing at the lace and back. Sole is lined with leather detailing. Great night out sneaker/shoe.
