Whoa, Whoa, Wingtips!

After class with Gene last week, I was really interested in the trend of wing tip shoes. So I searched online for some interesting, and somewhat unique wing tips.

  • First are the Vans Era Wingtip LX sneakers. They look like classic spectator wingtips, but interestingly enough, they are sneakers.
  • This next interesting find is up for sale on styleforum.com and is titled as Polo Benchmade Golf shoes made by Crockett and Jones. These shoes included 2 different tones of brown and a blue and green plaid pattern with appealing perforated designs.
  • This group of metallic wingtips are sure to make any outfit pop. (Clockwise from the right: 1. Grenson tan Dylan Brogue-$330-haberdashmen.com. 2. Florsheim Limited Veblen Dove Gray Wing tip-$160-florsheim.com. 3. Florsheim by Duckie Brown Metallic Copper Wingtip-$445-saksfifthavenue.com)
  • Lastly, these maroon and black and white checkerboard shoes by Commes des Garcons are the most interesting of all. The design of the shoe is so different from the wingtip shoes shown in class, that I'm not sure if they really can be classified as wingtips. None the less, they are very unique.
