The folks over at Selectism turn us to N.D.C. Made by Hand’s A/W 2009 lookbook. There are plenty of boots for everyone and much more. “If you’re into boots, then this collection will be your dream come true. If not, this might make you a convert. Low profile lovers will like the distressed suede oxfords and loafers.”

This season, opt out of the high top desert boot and fit into a lower variety. International retailer Reiss has their Kestrel shoe which is crafted to the summer season ahead of us. Socks? I think not. (more…)
NDC’s cool take on the classic shoe has definitely gotten our attention. This perforated boat shoe is called the freeboard which is perfect for the summer months and there is even a little quote on the back for some poetic inspiration. We’ve seen NDC’s boat shoe at a few different retailers but this variation at Matches has won us over.

Tom Ford’s “Made to Measure” shoe collection is covered this week in GQ UK (via Selectism). If you’re willing to pay over $3,500 for a bespoke pair of beauties, then you’ll definitely get what you pay for. “Customers can select from any one of 18 styles – from lace-ups to loafers – and an almost bewildering number of materials (14 different kinds of calf leather, not to mention suede and crocodile skin).”
In an exclusive collaboration with Tretorn, Sweden’s environmentally progressive maker of casual, understated shoes, Acne Jeans has blended their attention to detail with Tretorn’s minimalist designs. The cotton canvas upper brings comfort to the shoes, while small-in-size details like the heel being labeled with Acne and Tretorn are what define this trainer.

Sydney-based designer Gareth Moody started Chronicles of Never a few years back, a label that fuses industrial materials with the light headiness of dreams; simultaneously leading and ignoring fashion. Their dark navy soft leather lace up boot is a prime example of the brand’s creative fuel. The high tops are fitted with a thin footbed which we’re big fans of.
