To bring a bit of color into once life cannot be a bad thing, as long as it is done in style. Some celebrities like Robert Downey Jr. for example may have reached a little too far with wearing an acceptable suit with neon colored sneakers in baby blue and white. Those may possibly be a bit too much cheer for the eyes unless you happen to wear some really dark Gucci shades.
ADLER shoes, the Internet based custom footwear makers are bringing an old favorite back into the spotlight. The “Spectator” gentleman’s shoe in either Brogue or Oxford designs are two tone shoes that achieve the same effect, but do it in style.
Recently the TV drama “Boardwalk Empire” re-kindled the interest for this elegant shoe design that in the 20’s and 30’s became closely associated with famous gangsters like “Al Capone” and “Machine Gun Kelly”. Today, the Gentleman who cares for his appearance has a choice of a variety of bespoke “Spectator” shoes on ADLER’s website at http://www.adlershoes.com by choosing between the Brogue or Oxford models and a variety of leathers as well as color-combinations. He can choose between subtle color-mixes like for example, the Oxford Spectator in a polished dark brown combined with an unobtrusive dark brown suede or he can choose a more daring polished dark brown combined with tan suede. The stronger the contrast the more obvious becomes the “Spectator effect” until a black & white combo which of course represents the essence of the Spectator shoe but may not be for everyone.
At ADLER, style is combined with comfort since all shoes are custom made on your personal last. So, if you do want to make your shoe-life a bit more interesting this spring and summer, ADLER’s Spectator shoes could be your solution to do so and do it in style…..
