Jeremy; Sydney

Spotted at the retail boutique ASSIN, Jeremy is a man with a taste for the finer things in life.
His look is a walking representation of some seriously premium contemporary brands, with
handmade White leather 'Rubber Soul' shoes from Italian brand OXS, trousers and shirt by Undercover, and jacket by Mihara Yasuhiro. 
As you can see from the above labels he's a big fan of Japanese labels which he likes to mix with streetwear, and is able to conjure up a different look everyday.
His wardrobe is awash with sneakers, mostly pairs of Nike's which his partner insists he has more than enough of, but on this occasion I was delighted to see him sharing his OXS, a brand I haven't come across before.
The Italian brand works seamlessly with the Japanese apparel, and shares the type of rustic, folk meets street aesthetic select Visvim styles and the celebrated Bernhard Willhelm x Camper To&ether Hiking Trainers represent.  Is this the next shoe movement...watch this space?

Dylan x Clarks; Sydney

You may recognise Dylan - he's my 3 year old son who has popped up a few times on IDYSM as he seem's to have become something of a shoe model for kids shoes.

He was lucky enough to receive these great Clarks shoes a while ago, but has only now grown enough to fit into them which he is very, very happy about!
The brand have been rocking classic Originals for as long as I can remember with their iconic Desert Boots and Wallabies among the timeless silhouettes that still look as good now as they did back in the day, and they are keen to show that they're also turning out contemporary styles too, and Dylan for one is very happy about it!

Lovers; Sydney

In love with sneakers, but too in love with each other to talk.  Pictures speak a thousand words.

Feit Store; Sydney

Feit launched in the mid-2000's and literally came out of their corner 'Feit'ing' to show the sneaker and footwear scene that the art of shoe making is alive, kicking and as relevant to the urban scene as ever.
Based around the traditions of hand-crafted product made from premium materials, the brand have found a niche in the footwear game, fusing their fantastic array of lovingly designed and made product, with a unique sales model that see's samples posted online, with customers able to pre-order straight off the web.  Feitdirect.com gives members the chance to see what the companies working on, and the amount of pre-orders determines how many get made, and in what sizes.  Clean, simple and cuts out the middle man of profit guzzling stores!
That said, you can also get up close and personal with the brand in their Sydney boutique.  Small, intimate and regimentally designed, whilst allowing you to get up close and personal with the product that fuses top quality materials, stunning attention to detail, and fantastic design.
They're a brand well worth checking out, and I'm very much looking forward to road-testing some amazing Dsrt Kudu Suede Cloud which I'll report back about soon!
