Olly Shinder is one of the rising fashion talents in London and now he is partnering with Magnum Boots, breaching his way into the footwear industry. The designs are centered around function with an elevated look using the rugged form of Magnum's protective footwear as the base.
Shinder then details the shoes with the signature crocodile emblem. Other notable details include the buttoned leather panel cut with geometric ends -- it has a triangular shape and covers the top of the shoe to obscure most of the laces. It is constructed with hard-wearing action leather and rests on top of a Michelin rubber outsole at the base. It is made with inspiration from London's nightlife.
