Aston Martin Shoes (with Video)
Aston-designed driver’s shoes
By Shahzad Sheikh
Aston Martin and Winner Sport have teamed up to create ‘the ultimate lightweight driver’s shoe’. Aston Martin’s Director of Design, Marek Reichman worked with John Lobb’s Creative Director, Andres Hernandez to come up with these ‘aerodynamic’ shoes – er… why do they need to be aerodynamic?
Anyway, they look pretty cool and are made from full-grain calfskin, lined with supple sheepskin. There’s soft padding in the ankle and there’s ‘specially-engineered bonded rubber sole that wraps beneath the shoe, giving a sleek line and sporting feel.’
Hey, they’re just shoes, c’mon. Nice colours though: Graphite Grey, Winter Wheat, Frost White and Saddle Tan are all made with the Sporty Stratos White rubber sole. Storm Black, Bitter Chocolate, Westminster Green and Aurora Blue are made with Racy Fire Red rubber soles.
You want? We do. But you’ll have to wait a bit.
They’ll be available from selected John Lobb and Aston Martin dealers from May this year.
