Wingtip Sneakers?

[theexistentialist]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows where to find this kind of shoe that I've been seeing all over, and was struck by its near ubiquity in Paris last week... I can't seem to find many good photos, but I think the best description is a kind of wingtip brogued "sneaker". I hope that rings a bell. Is there a better name for them to use when searching for them? EDIT: I found a great photo of what I'm looking for, actually from searching the styleforum site: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...3/DSC_0129.jpg Any idea where to find something like this? Pricing?

Nanny State makes some brogued sneakers for around 60 quid

I have a pair from Paul Smith from several seasons ago. Always get compliments from them.

Paul Smith has some brogue but very limited wingtips.
Puma has some as well.

I quite like these S2As:

I don't think you'll find the Gola strides with any sort of decent stock much anymore. That said I own a pair or two of these and they're not bad.

I was going to suggest swear - I'm quite partial to their stuff. The shoes you posted don't really look like sneakers, though. Here's another pair: http://www.swear-london.com/item10006702.aspx http://www.yoox.com/item.asp?cod10=44117363&TP=2176

The brown gola strides aren't as ridiculous looking in person as you'd think. My midsoles are dirty and stuff so it looks more normal too. I don't think i could do the black ones, but they're real comfy, and chicks love them. They're probably my least favorite shoes at the moment, but everytime i wear them someone remarks how they really like them.


theexistentialist- What size are you? If you don't mind used shoes, i may be willing to sell mine if i look through my closet and don't find a good outfit to wear them with.
