New Allen Edmonds Model?

[Poshak Man]

Jos A Bank web site shows an Allen Edmonds Wingtip Shoe called McClain. Here is the link:

Is this a new model or a discotninued one? FWIW this does not appear on Allen Edmonds web site.

Does any one on the forum own this shoe?

I've never seen or heard of them before; they must be new models. It's also possible they're exclusive to JAB, though I've never known AE to do that before. What I'm really digging, though, is that grained leather on the brown ones...fantastic! AE seems to be returning to much of what it was doing a decade ago, which was a greater variety in colors and textures.

the sales dude at one of their stores (the outlet at Tanger on Long Island, IIRC) told me this spring they are coming out with a spectator on the new #8 last.

I'm pretty sure it is a new model for spring 2007.

Do you mean the one with the linen vamp?

It's about time they put a proper wingtip bal back in the lineup...
