Mark McNairy is the American fashion designer behind the Mark McNairy New Amsterdam footwear label. The line is a mix of traditional English and American style meets city chic for men.
The collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2012 season is a sneak peek of what you have in store for an exciting season of endless options in men’s footwear. The Mark McNairy New Amsterdam footwear collection will feature chukka boots, dirty bucks, creepers, saddle shoes, loafers, and Jordan-inspired saddle shoes. If this collection is truly on the cutting edge, color blocking will continue to be a strong trend in 2012 as well as animal prints from tiger and leopard to defining zebra prints.
All Mark McNairy shoes also feature a special signature “f**k off” message on the sole.
