The classic 1461 Platform shoes take the traditional oxford footwear and add a stylistic element that cannot be missed this season. The silhouette features the highest platform to date by the brand, delivering a sleek design language that can be worn throughout all the seasons with its sturdy build.
The uppers are made from a polished smooth leather material to showcase a slight shine. It is then detailed with hints of yellow throughout -- this is found at the signature AirWair heel loop at the back and the iconic yellow welt exposed stitching. Notably, the Quad sole measures out to be an impressive 1.5 inches and the Goodyear-welted lines are sealed with the heat at 700 degrees Celcius.
