Custom Tips

Screen Shot 2014-06-10 at 8.47.21 AMWing Tips. I recently discovered Greenwich Vintage Co and fell hard. Not only is the brand about making sure you can make a custom pair of shoes, Greenwich Vintage’s primary focus is on the re-crafting and re-purposing of wingtips, boots and chukkas with its signature in-house colored soles. In addition, the Company resoles and restores customers’ footwear with its signature colored soles, preserving and improving on the past for future generations. That’s right they are recycling through customization.

 

You can create a pair of custom wingtips with Greenwich Vintage’s signature colored soles. Hand-crafted by the Company’s master cobbler, each pair is constructed from re-purposed wingtips and Greenwich Vintage’s in-house colored soles, creating a truly one-of-a kind shoe. In addition, you can add in a possible inlay (like floral or camo or). All built-to-order wingtips come with a pair of colored laces from Benjo’s Boot and Shoe Lacing to complement the new colored soles. From $275

To build your own wingtips, simply follow the steps below:

1. Select Wingtip Shoe Color
2. Choose a Sole Type
3. Choose a Sole Color
4. Choose a Midsole Color
5. Choose an Inlay Style (Optional)
6. Select Your Shoe Size and Width

It really is that easy to get your own custom shoes and give new life to an old pair of shoes.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
