step into summer with some blue suede shoes

After a failed attempt at Louis Vuitton where the navy Monte Carlo loafers are not stocked, my search for a pair of blue summer shoes led me to Kamikaze, Oslo’s only purveyor of main collection lines from Italian luxury brands such as Prada, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana.

Here comes the summer sun.

Get your Gucci on.

I instantly fell in love with these blue suede moccasins from Gucci. They’re comfortable to wear and feature details that exude sober style – from the soft suede and coated trademark horsebit detail on the vamp, to the perforated leather inset on the heel and the contrast pieced rubber sole. The color is a deep royal blue that’s hard to capture on camera. I tried my best.

Contrast pieced rubber sole…

Easily a summertime chameleon by pairing with either a rolled white Acne jeans or khaki Bermuda shorts, these moccasins are definitely a style staple for languid afternoons sipping coffee or exploring lazy streets in my next travel destination. Two months and counting!

Packed…

And ready to go. Step into summer!

I actually saw these today and was going back and forth on it!!! Jerome wanted me to get the blue but I was going for the black. Your post made me change my mind. Sigh…If I do get ‘em, I guess we need to call each other so we don’t go to the same party wearing the same shoes. LVoe it!!!

thanks

- 20 freshmess June 16, 2009 at 9:41 pm
  
  The SA said to go down one-half to one size smaller. True that my size was bigger on Gucci than normal.

Very very nice shoes. And that color is perfect. I’m absolutely kicking myself now for not getting them when they were available. I was afraid of the white soles. But they look so good on you…Enjoy them!!!

- 24 freshmess June 18, 2009 at 9:37 am
  
  Thanks Mitchell! You should have snapped them, but I’m sure you’ll chance upon these babies again.
