Casual weekend wear---JAX |
A Spring 2013 media preview turned up some wearable on trend styles that as always-are at great price points. Also important to note-these are not gimmicky, disposable fast fashion shoes...these are up to date good looks that will last.
First up-men's shoes---solid neutrals with pops of colors, quality materials like suede and nubuck leather that handles the weather well---- and details that bump up the brand's offerings beyond the basics. Clarks® know their customers---these are all day comfortable kickers the guys we know will wear---they are not exactly too daring in their wardrobe choices but they know footwear---made with quality fused with contemporary style when they see it...and buy accordingly.
