“When British soldiers took on Rommel in the North African desert in World War II, footwear was just a minor of the playing fields that needed leveling. A lightweight boot construction that prevented sand from intruding was the result. In its CA treatment, the shoe returns from history as a minimalist, three-eyelet Chukka Boot. Rich suede uppers and tonal round and waxed laces contribute subtle sophistication, while this throwback silhouette’s story would not be complete without a woven heel tab inspired by the flower children of the 1960s and their guitar straps.” Click on each pic after the jump, to purchase!
