—01-04. Offered in Olive and Black.

Words

Why haven't I seen these before? Made in a cotton linen mix, in a classic fatigue style, these String Shorts from Needles look to be an ideal summer pick-up. The frayed hem is a nice detail, that's neither expected, nor unwelcome.

Words

The 1500 might be my favorite New Balance model. The shape, smaller 'N' logo and the size of the tongue all make for a nice looking trainer.

—01. Tan Chromexel.

Words

A Russell Moccasin chukka on a 2060 sole with double moccasin construction, to me, has to be one of the most attractive shoes available. This style is made for the Japanese shop MAPS, and looks even better with a fourth eyelet and chromexcel leather.

Words

Not to everyone's taste I'm sure, but an interesting addition to The Bureau's footwear offering nonetheless, and a shoe that provides a welcome break from the ubiquity of certain other styles.
