I Put Style First

Based in Wynwood-Miami Downtown Art District, Del Toro keeps growing and expanding its brand all over the world through daily new releases. Here’s one of their latest best items: the grey camo suede alto chukkas, made in Italy by the best artisans using only high end quality suede.

Although colored soles are already old news, I cannot help but highlight to this new collabo between End Hunting Co. and Tricker’s. In my opinion every man should own at least a pair of the classic Stow Brogue Boots, even if they have beaming soles!

Another recent collaboration that is giving me thrills is the A.P.C. x Nike 2013 footwear summer collection! Here’s my favorite piece, the tonal black Dunk Highs. The contrast between the dark suede uppers and the light brown gum rubber outsoles represents the clear clean touch of the french company at its best…absolutely a must have!

Many thanks to Amsterdam Shoe Co. for sending over this very welcome gift!

If you need some new boat shoes to sail away this summer, you should really step your game up and get these studded ones from Christian Louboutin…all the yacht club pals will be mad at you!

My #Adidas #Gazelle from 1997! Still on top of their game…;)

Del Toro is one of the new footwear companies that caught me eyes lately. Even though the brand has its own headquarters in the hipster and artsy neighborhood of Wynwood, Miami, all their shoes are handmade in Italy. I really like this “Givenchy-inspired” black on black star embroidered slip ons.

Oliver Sweeney’s Compass collection is inspired by cycling shoes. The British label paid a lot of attention to details on this model, just look at the shark’s tooth detailing!

Mark McNairy is monopolizing mens shoes, and I can’t say he doesn’t deserve all the success he’s getting. L‘“enfant terrible” of footwear really knows how to appeal both men who dress casual and those who prefer formal attire. These brown suede wingtip shoes are the perfect example of what I’m talking about.

This collaboration between Carhartt WIP and Vans is truly a blessing if you enjoy street fashion as much as I do. I know that summer’s approaching quite fast and a colorful version of this shoes would be more appropriate, but if you opt for the black version you would have many more ways to match them with both formal and informal attire.

Nabuck Rec Shoes by Common Projects are the perfect informal shoes to wear everyday, if your work does not require to be in a suit 24/7.

I would match them with a pair of rolled up dark denim slim fit jeans and a white tee. Summer’s calling.

Many thanks to Valentijn from Amsterdam Shoe Co. for forwarding me these camouflage chukka by his dutch footwear company.

I do believe that Amsterdam Shoe Co. is one of the emerging shoe-making brands that you should keep your eyes on. Their models, either chukkas, wingtips or lace up’s are very clean but bold at the same time.

For instance, I really appreciate the kind of camo pattern they used in this case, because it is not as loud as you may find on other shoes, nonetheless it’s full of personality.
