Vol. 14: "The Return of the Spectator Shoe" Church's (3)

This installment of The★Best 7 features "Spectator Shoes," following our first installment. It’s not that we’ve run out of material. Because Editor Demon King loves spectator shoes so dearly, we want to introduce them again and again.

Yusuke“This season, I’m keen to highlight the wide variety of spectator shoes available. Many are updated with contemporary color combinations or contrasting leather panels, and others are given a fresher mood through various techniques.

Church’s lace-up shoes are unique, with a striking blue line along the welt that stands out against the burgundy upper. The Union Jack on the insole is also a bold statement. They are comfortable with rubber soles, making them spectator shoes with an appeal unlike more traditional styles.

I know I push spectator shoes relentlessly, but I have a feeling a third installment could easily follow. Whether you’re inspired to wear spectator shoes by this feature or not, please look forward to it!”
