WORST SHOES EVER!! (yet big laugh at the same time!)
I look at these (and think about who they came from, two great companies) and can't help but think that when the designers were thinking about these, they were either incredibly drunk or just wanted to take the piss (have a joke), big time! The funniest thing is that they were actually being considered, having been made up for the A/W 2010 collaboration between Sperry & Band of Outsiders. Yet, thankfully, someone intelligent put the axe on production, and they never saw the light of day. Nevertheless, I just can't help but feel that this was just a big joke, because I am quite fond of both of these companies and the majority of shoes that they do, especially when it's done together, and simply cannot fathom them doing anything this ridiculous on a serious level. I mean, seriously, imagine a grown man walking down the street with these on? It would be just plain wrong, not only for the amount of fur on them, but for the sheer impracticality of them, but I guess that never stops anyone from doing anything, like making mega yachts that are one mile long and cost $2 billion/year just to maintain......what kind of world do we live in?????

Today's Favorites - Band of Outsiders' Saddle Shoes
Here is yet another bombardment of saddle shoes, but hey, I love them, so you have to grow to love them too! Band of Outsiders' modern version of a saddle shoe is among the coolest that I have ever seen. The top pair is mind-blowing amazing, with the little details that it provides: patina/distressed leather, natural sole and welt stitching, storm welt, white laces, darkened brogueing and last but not least, a great color! It does not get much better than that pair and even the others are terribly cool. I truly love seeing all of the ways a saddle shoe can be done. While it's design limits it from being too terribly unique from one another, it's always a pleasure to see a company's unique twist of their version. As the saddle is my favorite design of all time, you can bet that when I start my line there will be no shortage of saddle models, season after season, as I already have plenty of designs in store!
