We got turned to FEIT a short while back and were just stunned at the time and attention to detail they dedicated to each and every sneaker they released. Yep, sneaker.

The shell’s made from supple French calfskin and is fitted with waxed cotton laces. Oh, and it features handsewn Goodyear construction. Unreal.
What’s even more unreal is the fact that we’ve been given the opportunity to giveaway five pairs of these beauties to our readers. (more…)

From Blackbird’s ongoing collaboration with Alden comes this Summer Oxford in a Reverse Tobacco Chamois shell. It’s a mixture of two well-recieved styles from the fruitful collaboration. This Summer Oxford, like other Alden pieces before it, is hand made with Horween leather in an all-natural, special recipe tanning process that can take up to six weeks to complete. Needless to say, the time dedicated to the making of each pair really shows in the final product.
