Travis Gumbs: Now that the summer is in full swing, we are happy to announce that we are preparing various product releases for the next few months. Back in February we introduced the first pair of shoes from our Del-Toro collaboration. This time around we went with something a bit different to go with the more casual summer months.
We decided to go with a raffia fabric because of its simple look yet versatile attributes. This is the type of shoe that goes with everything from formal to casual and best of all it continuously looks better with time. I decided to wear mine a couple times to show how cool they look once worn in. We will be sure to wear these shoes all summer and give you guys an update on how they are coming along.
The shoes can be purchased at the Del-Toro online shop. They run pretty true to size and are made in Italy with some of the best quality and care possible. Much thanks once again to the guys at Deltoro for a shoe well done!

These look sick Trav. Classic styling. Perfect for the Caribbean sun this summer. Hey I hope you smashed the studies too! Hope to hear more from you on the site as your time is freed up from the all-engulfing digital marketing madness!

Nice slip-ons. Love the combination of natural material with a leather sole. Leather soles are always good.

Remind me of the leather Yemenis I bought in Safranbolu, Turkey. Wore them for a year, loved them, and forgot them in a hotel in Istanbul. I wish somebody’d start importing and selling them here.
