The Truth and Nothing But the Truth
Tom Ford is one of my favorite high fashion designers, so as the saying goes if the shoe fits, then it's perfectly wearable; if the shoe fits like Tom Ford's made-to-measure footwear, then it's nigh-on perfect. 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). Still not individual enough? Then add a monogram or have your moniker inscribed inside the shoe. Measuring complete, the order hotfoots its way to Naples to begin a painstaking three-month process that gives the shoe-to-be (and presumably the shoemaker) time to rest between each of the six layers of polish. Alas, the service is currently only available in Ford's flagship stores in New York and Milan, but then that hardly takes the shine off. For those willing to spend in excess of $3500 this is a great look for you!!


Finally taking a step away from their traditional bright colored footwear, Greedy Genius is offering a preview into their upcoming style, the Ocean Runner. The shoe takes on subtle nautical characteristics mostly in the form of re-appropriated boat shoe characteristics. The shoe features tonal nubuck uppers with external lacing details along the heel and side panels. The Greedy Genius branding is kept to a minimum except for the tongue area which is much better than their logo. I have no idea when these shoes are coming out so stay LOCKED IN to the Experience!!Thoughts, ideas and beliefs expressed on this blog are solely my own opinion.
