#92 PRADA UOMO 2P0709 DRESS SHOES

THIS IS EASILY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAIRS OF PRADA DRESS SHOES. DEFINITELY A UNIQUE DESIGN. I LIKE THE SHOE'S BULLET SHAPE AS WELL AS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LACE COVER ON THE TOP. HOWEVER THESE SHOES DO NOT EMPLOY ANY LACES. THE SOLE IS A COMBINATION OF LEATHER & RUBBER ON THE HEEL PORTION. THE LINES & STITCHING ARE ALSO WHAT SETS IT APART.

#88 Y-3 FIELD III WHITE/GREY MESH








#87 PRADA UOMO 2E0419 CAPTOE DRESS SHOES

THESE ARE A PRETTY COOL PAIR OF CAPTOES. VERY BOLD & POWERFUL IN APPEARANCE. CAME OUT DURING A SEASON THAT WAS WESTERN/COWBOY INSPIRED. I'M USUALLY NOT A FAN OF THICK MIDSOLES, BUT THIS ONE MATCHES THE STRONG LOOKS OF THESE LACE-UP CAPTOES. I LIKE THE MATERIAL ON THE UPPER, BEING NYLON MESH, CONTRASTING WITH THE OVERALL LEATHER BODY. IT ADDS A NICE CHANGE TO THE TYPICAL STYLE & APPEARANCE.










#86 NIKE SOAKER

I LOVE THIS SHOE. IT'S BOTH AN ACG SHOE AS WELL AS A "NIKE CONSIDERED" PRODUCT. "NIKE CONSIDERED" BEING THAT THE SHOE IS SUSTAINABLE. IT'S CHEAP FIRST OF ALL. I PAID $50 AT A NIKE OUTLET FOR IT. IT'S DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A STREET WEAR SNEAKER BUT HAS OUTDOORS FUNCTIONALITY. THE SPECIAL STICKY RUBBER SOLES GRIP WET SURFACES WHILE THE ENTIRE SHOE IS POROUS ENOUGH TO ALLOW WATER TO DRAIN OUT COMPLETELY WHILE TRUDGING THROUGH RIVERS & CREEKS. PERSONALLY, I'D RATHER WEAR THESE THAN THE CURRENTLY OVER-TRENDY BOAT SHOES WHEN GOING ANYWHERE NEAR WATER
