Alden Shoes – KUDU Ultimate Indy Re-Stock (LSW)
Alden x Leffot Marble Indy Boot
Alden ‘Ultimate Indy’ Boots
The Alden ‘Ultimate Indy’ in black Aniline calf leather. These flew off shelves when they were first introduced a few years back, they now make a return via Leather Soul who currently offer more versions of this boot than you have days in the year to wear them. Now, some may be shaking their heads at another mention of the Indy. The poster boot for the menswear movement has become, lets say, Ubiquitous. This version however has breathed new life into a classic, that matte black colourway bringing a chalkboard vibe and generally smartening the whole thing up.
Alden Boots X Leather Soul, Self Edge
Two smitten-worthy outfits come together to bring us this sleek, utilitarian boot. Denim purveyor Self Edge describes their niche in the world this way: “We don’t see a pair of jeans as just a pair of jeans. We see them as part of your life—something that ages with you and, like you, only becomes better with time.” We couldn’t agree more, and, in the case of a quality piece of footwear, the same rules apply, which is something Leather Soul seems aware of by their own credo: “Aloha, our passion is for craftsmanship, style, the perfect fit and uncompromising service.” One hundred pairs of the Alden boot were produced in each of two colors—black and Horween chromexcel (tan)—both bearing the telltale detail of a stitched mock toecap. You can pick them up starting February 18 at either Leather Sole location (Beverly Hills and Waikiki). In addition, Self Edge will be releasing an Iron Heart collaboration jean as part of the package.
Alden Seven Hills Indy Boots X Need Supply
“Richmond VA’s Need Supply works over a pair of Indy boots with New England’s Alden shoe company. Since we’re all familiar with the quality of Alden (no questions there) it all comes down to the colorway. This one is a win. the Tan Dakota upper, all around Goodyear welt construction with white stitching looks great against the brown laces as well. The eyelets also get some special treatment. Finished with a white Vibram sole. Find them at Need Supply.”
Alden Milkshake Saddle Shoes
Another superb Alden, Leather Soul collaboration. This is the Milkshake Saddle, sounds pretty tasty right? Soft, creamy suede sits alongside the oddly named “dark brown lady calf.” Brass eyelets, antique edge trim and Alden’s made for comfort flex welt construction. We’re not sure whether to wear them on a country walk or stick a straw in ‘em. Hit Leather Soul for more.
Alden Choco Suede Plaza Boots
“Alden continue to show off their skills with these suede boots. Khaki with a cap toe, slim and neat, these are an all-situation type of footwear, keep on walking straight from the office to the bar with no problems. If you’re looking for a more refined take on the Indy then these might just be your thing. Available at Leather Soul.”
