Converse Slam Jam CT70 Hiker Hi Sneaker

Italy and the U.S. make acquaintance.  The renown Italian shop Slam Jam has teamed up with Converse to remix the famed Chuck Taylor Hi Sneaker.  The Converse Slam Jam CT70 Hiker Hi is like a vintage military field jacket meet a classic flight jacket.  The upper features panels of various shades and textures of olive and green complete with GORE-TEX weatherproofing.  The two-tone sole is a nice complementary finish for this technical and functional re-hatching of a classic.  Available now at BowsAndArrowsBerkeley.com.





British Remains Jodphur Boot

Maybe it's named the Jodphur Boot due to the tinge of British pomp.  Maybe it's due to the high ankle, low calf length.  Perhaps it's the jaunty white leather wraparound buckled tabs that act as sartorially sharp contrast to the smooth reddish brown leather that say jodhpur.  Well, whatever it is, these boots have a punch that is equal parts dapper and casual.  Made in England with a full leather upper, these boots are a nice shape and silhouette for tapered tailored pants, cuffed wash n wear khakis or trim thin-waled cords.  Available now at Slam Jam Shop.
