Wing Tips

Sensual, strong, and suave, yet familiar: it’s got the style you crave along with the comfort to keep you going in the midst of anything. What type of footwear can offer all of these things and more? Simply put: the wing tip, also known as the brogue. From Scottish and Irish origins, the toe-capped pattern, usually made of heavy leather, first became popular in the US during the roaring 20s. The trend gained momentum, peaking in the mid-60s to early-70s, but can still be seen everywhere from the financial district to the nation’s capital today. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has been snapped wearing black wing-tips, and they are a favorite of sports superstar turned CEO Gayle Sayers as well. Step into a fashion staple by selecting dark black or brown wingtips and show the world that you’re a savvy Pro.
