Suede Shoes
Suede shoes for women and men, from low top sneakers and loafers to ankle boots and sandals, in stock at independent boutiques.
Suede shoes bring rich nap and muted colour to classic footwear for women and men, grounding tailored wool trousers or casual denim. The textured leather softens rigid tailoring while giving low profile court trainers and ankle boots tactile depth. Earth tones such as brown, cream, grey, and green balance heavy outerwear, holding the silhouette together through understated contrasts.
Skaters wear suede because it stands up to rough grip tape, and Nike remade its Dunk, a college basketball shoe from the mid eighties, for skateboarding. Wales Bonner, the London label of Grace Wales Bonner, makes sneakers with Adidas, while Guidi, a tannery in Pescia, Tuscany, since the late eighteen hundreds, brings suede boots.
Sneakers, boots, and lace ups pair naturally with relaxed cords or raw hem jeans. Utopia in Toronto brings most of this wall, in suede sneakers from Jordan, Nike and New Balance, many of them pre owned. WDLT117 in Toronto adds Song for the Mute sneakers made with Adidas, Guidi boots and Coperni.
