Band of Outsiders Footwear at Surrender
The nerdy quirk of the Fall Winter 09 show from Band of Outsiders was a true standout earlier this spring. Singapore shop Surrender at last has a set of simple striped oxford shirts available from the collection and, better yet, a broad selection of shoes.

See Surrenderous.com for more information.

Basic sneakers are a must during these warm times. Something you can preferably wear without socks is an even bigger plus for maximum comfort.

The small mesh eyelets on the outer sides of the sneakers allow your feet to breathe while you take strides down the boardwalk or on those hot city streets.

Diemme New Tirol and Roccia Vet Boots
The list of brothers in fashion is a very short one. There’s Dean & Dan of Dsquared², Byron & Dexter of WANT Les Essentiels De La Vie, and maybe a few more but now Dennis & Maico of Diemme. With nearly twenty years of manufacturing quality footwear under their belts, the Italian duo are hardly newcomers to the industry. Whether they were creating under their own name or as contributors for other brands such as Japanese leather goods and bag specialists, Hobo, the guys at Diemme have lived up to the standards shoemakers from Montebelluna, Italy are held to.
Diemme’s latest works are the ‘New Tirol’ and ‘Roccia Vet’ Boots. Immediately you can appreciate the rich dark brown naturally tanned leather and red laces of the ‘New Tirol’ mountain boots. The boot’s foundation is from none other than Vibram, the all purpose climbing rubber soles worn by men to climb Mt. Everest, seriously. Ground level is no match for boots tested at altitudes of 16,568 feet so for a fairer fight with the pavement the Crepe soles under the “Roccia Vet’ Boots are the less rugged choice. The ‘Roccia Vet’ made of 100% naturally tanned comes in ‘Earth’ with Grey laces or ‘Date’ with yellow laces. All three options are equally eye-catching, comfortable, and priced at $259.00. Get them both at C’H'C’M’.
See more shots of Diemme’s new boots after the jump, but keep in mind that only the three color-ways described above are available in the U.S. Good luck finding the green ‘Roccia Vets’ and if you do, let us know where, please.
