Soulland Deck Shoe

September 29th, 2009 by red

SoullandSoulland have done it again with yet another killer product – this time it’s their take on the classic Sperry-style deck shoe. We all know that deck shoes are just about the hottest footwear silhouette going at the moment and this premium quality take on the design-classic is undoubtedly going to be, along with the classic Sperry original (take a look in our store if you fancy a pair), one of the most highly coveted versions on the market. Don’t get us wrong, this isn’t a case of playing copy-cat, Soulland have obviously applied more than just a little thought to the design process and have added some very subtle, individual touches that make them stand out in their own right.

The subtly upturned toe adds a unique, quirky touch to the classic deck shoe shape but has practical benefits too – it’s probably fair to say that most people who buy a pair won’t actually be buying them with a view to just putting their feet up on their yacht, they’ll probably be walking places in them and, as such, the upturned toe will have similar comfort benefits to the upturned toe shape of trainers such as the Nike Airmax 90 / 95 – another example of a designer applying both form and function: sweet.

The colour schemes are unique too and are available in either a grape / wine purple colour with just a few green accents or with paneled colouring of blue and red. Both colour schemes are complemented by the white sole and stitching and both are guaranteed to stand out a mile.
