ALDEN | All Day

TomokiThe moment I saw these, I thought, 'Alden has combination shoes like this?' And while I expected the V-tip to be understated, I was surprised to find that the combination makes them look quite striking. The pairing of scotch grain leather with cordovan, two materials with distinct textures, is an unexpected combination that feels refreshingly new.

This is a custom order model from International Gallery BEAMS, featuring a special leather selection. The contrasting textures of the different leathers are skillfully integrated into the V-tip design, creating a luxurious and stylish appearance. With the Modified last and a balanced heel, comfort is also guaranteed. ¥95,000 (Alden × International Gallery BEAMS / International Gallery BEAMS 03-3470-3948)
