Good white shoes are to fashionistas what water is to farmers: a vital component for prosperity. And both farmers and fashionistas alike have witnessed a crippling drought of late. Dunlop Volleys have been dredged out from last season. Desperate people have shopped at Industrie for their white shoes. Big W has been revisited. It has been ugly and terrifying - tough times for the aesthetic economy. Thankfully, Alpha 60 has once more tapped the rich reserves of resplendent footwear and the simple white sneakers that breezed in and out of their store a few months ago are back in plenty.
Now there are some basic things you need to know about this shoe: they burn bright and die young. Whether it be a winter puddle, yet another warehouse party or a tough stint in any bar, these are not likely to be the shoes that you're still wearing in three seasons’ time. Nonetheless, with a look that sits somewhere between kung fu and yacht rock, you will find plenty of occasions to wear them, and every time you do they will put a spring in your winter step.
