I’m not a practical person.

My shoes are very specific, made to go with a couple of outfits, and are notoriously finicky to take care of, ie. my Alexander McQueen for Puma leather sneakers. The stitching came apart, and I’m too lazy to go to a leatherworker to get them fixed. The great thing is though, they go great with almost everything, from preppy shorts to the darkest slim jeans.

That’s kind of the idea with these Original Penguin vintage-inspired sneakers. Preppy, cool, and just interesting enough to not be generic, it’s a definite winner with anything in your wardrobe, in the colour of the season: brown! It’s got a nice leather and fabric upper, with a velcro close and an embroidered penguin on it, which is charming and lovely, because fuck, who doesn’t love penguins? And if you say you don’t, you’re a heathen and have no heart.

Get them for $105.00 at the Original Penguin e-shop.
