Cool Hunting
Pointer, a small shoe company started by ex-members of Silas, Carhartt and Blueprint Skateboards, recently dropped their new line of spring and summer shoes. The designs are an elusive blend of understated style, equally fit for business or casual settings.
A mid-top, the Mathieson (above left) consists of a durable nubuck upper and vulcanized soles with copper eyelets and black-on-black criss-cross stitching adding subtle but stylish detail. The Debaser Canvas (above right) features brightly colored detail stitching but maintains its sleek and clean style by keeping a slim profile. Made of heavy canvas with wide gauge stitching around the toe it is a durable and classic design.
The Spring/Summer Pointer line is currently available at The Glade starting at €50.

If Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz, was an urban hipster, she'd be tapping the heels of these shinies instead of those heinous rhinestone pumps. These are a reinterpreted version of the original 70's Gerd Mueller football shoe. £79.95 at Hanon's...
Designed from pieces of hand-painted leather, these sexy men's-style dress shoes recently premiered at Neon's winter fashion show and bring action and color to any get-up. The Brazilian label's co-designer Dudu Bertholini has been collecting leftover painted cow skin—some of them rare—from his trips abroad to New York and throughout his home country, at last finding the best use for them. Because he only...
My latest sneaker purchase, the Sportsman by Generic Man, have all the aesthetic qualities of a great sneaker with high-end materials and production methods to match.
