The Mark McNairy Spring Summer 2013 footwear collection rolls out a wild mix of men’s shoe fashion. He has never been one to stay simple, conservative or conventional, which seems especially exaggerated this time around.
Since the classic loafer and plain desert boots are both seeing a resurgence, why not combine the two? Naturally, atypical animal prints are used to inject spice into some of the pieces, while outstanding fabrics and colors are used to adorn others. The sleek black dress shoe is overrated -- this collection of kicks feature splashes of canary yellow, vibrant orange and just a lick of passion red.
McNairy’s shoes have a certain quality about them -- if you wear them, your shoes are no longer just supporting soles beneath your feet, they are also making bold statements.
