I have spent most of my life embracing the idea of uniform dressing even before the concept was named ‘uniform dressing’. I rarely stray from my basics of a black button down shirt and dark raw denim jeans. Even with my insatiable appetite for shoes I rarely stray from my shoe basics – and that includes high gloss/ patent leather black shoes. It has often lead people to ask me, “Who wears patent shoes anymore? Aren’t those just for formal occasions?” I do. And No. Tsk Tsk.
Enter ACNE, who seems to be killing it with the high gloss shoes this SS14. Remember the Oilslick Derby? Now they also have the Adrian sneaker in gloss black and at a lower price point. It is a classic runner that will never go out of style. And the Klein blue suede Adrian may just be the first pair of blue suede shoes you must own.
