Oliver Sweeney 2014 Spring/Summer Collection Preview
Long known for its unique updates to classic and timeless footwear silhouettes, British cobbler
Long known for its unique updates to classic and timeless footwear silhouettes, British cobbler Oliver Sweeney presents a preliminary look at its upcoming collection of releases for the Spring/Summer 2014 season. Featuring everything from the Orleans derby brogue, Kleber chukka boot and Clamart monk strap brogue to sneakers like the Barrosa, Lavre and Cibboro low-tops – as well as the mid-top Moita silhouette – the range includes a bevy of takes on both dress shoes and casual sneakers. Oiled leathers, premium suedes, and even PU-coated fabrics appear throughout the uppers, dress shoes sport Goodyear-welted construction and EVA soles while many of the sneakers boast cup sole construction and reversed welt detailing. Hand-finished details are a hallmark throughout and include toe punches, intricate stitch work, and a variety of high-shine and textured applications to the luxurious leathers and suedes.
