Blake oxford vs Oxford?

[Another New Yorker]

In RL's products a lot of things are referred to as blake. What exactly does that mean? I've never heard the term anywhere else. A blake oxford that, from the icon, looks just like a normal oxford costs more..

Much thanks to thoes who help me shed light on this.

Not sure about the exact models you are speaking of but it could refer to blake stitching which is another way to attached the sole to the upper. See the entry on this page: http://styleforum.pbworks.com/w/page/7029895/Shoes

It's in the boys section--the X Large there fit as well as a small in the men's section. A real steal.
