Grenson for Albam

Grenson have been busy making limited run shoes for some great shops and brands in the last couple seasons. From Rag & Bone to Odin, now they are doing up something special for a great shop/brand much closer to their own headquarters. For fall 09 Albam will be doing an updated desert boot and brogued wingtip shoe with Grenson. Apparently about 250 processes go into the making of each shoe.

The black dress shoes are looking really nice, and again we can look forward to some exciting pieces from Albam.
