Surface 2 Air's latest boat shoes only serve to corroborate my prediction that 2011 is the year of the perforated shoe. The Boat Perf V2 arrives just in time for spring and summer, sporting a smart leather design with holes all around.
Perofrated boat shoes may not be your idea of stylish, but Surface 2 Air has done a good job with the Boat Perf V2 in keeping its design quiet yet unique. When I say quiet, I mean that the holes on the Boat Perf V2 blend in quite well with the leather and don't draw any attention to themselves.
I for one am excited about the holiest innovation to hit shoes in sometime. I can't wait to see everything from desert boots to court kicks getting the perforated treatment.
