The Phillips is a unique "tarsal brogue" oxford, so called because of the addition of the leather strap on top of the tarsal bones of the foot, between the lacing and the toe cap. The pattern of this oxford makes for a bold and uncommon shoe, and thankfully "bold" works wonderfully with tailoring! This is certainly not a classic business style, but is nevertheless a great way to add edge into an outfit while still looking your best.
This Maple Calf and Pearl Suede colorway nods to the iconic hues of classic brown/white spectator styles, replacing the stark white calf with a softer, subtler grey-tone "Pearl" suede. This is a shoe just asking to be worn with cream/khaki, or just about any shade of blue.
