The Unusual Suspects Concept X Trickers Exclusives

 

The first release in a series of highly limited collaborations with master-shoemaker Tricker’s. Our design debut entitled 'The Unusual Suspects" is a subtle, slimmed down reworking of the classic long wing Richard brogue and the ever-popular Bourton brogue. Each style has been given a unique character and name pertaining to each material used, for instance the “Habana” Longwing pays homage to all things Cuban (minus the ridiculous heel) constructed from rich Cuba waxed suede uppers and subtle brogue detailing. The shoe is finished off with a Barbour Welted Danite sole for added durability.

The “Aristocrat” Longwing pays homage to sartorial function and English eccentricity. Reworking the classic Richard Long Wing with a slimmed down contemporary fit they are hand made using the finest Naster Burnished calfskin and feature a bold contemporary twist in the form of a vibrant orange Itshide sole.

 

The “Artiste” Bourton Derby Brogue takes an obscure reference from the Sienna clay used in the production of oil paint pigments and is crafted from textured Sienna scotch grain leather and contrasting Dainite sole.  

 

The “Highland Fox” Bourton Derby Brogue pays homage to the elusive fox of the Outer Hebrides seen here in rich coppery brown Reppelo suede. Courtesy of the CNCPT design team the highly limited styles are presented in a typically premium fashion with a printed leather insole.
