The Patrick Cox men's collection for GEOX S/S 13 is a unique take on two-toned soles. Most color-blocked shoes have soles that are all one tone in unison; two-toned soles are often split in color down the middle of the sole horizontally, but never patchy like Cox's designs. Contrasting colors like vibrant orange and white, the unusual shoe design accents the mid section of the shoes' sole.
The Newton sneakers have a thicker sole, which is segmented into two colors. While the orange soles are accented by distinguishable white midsoles, the cream-colored sole is embellished with camo print down the middle.
Through this collaboration with British shoe designer Patrick Cox, Geox further enhances its promise of meshing form with high-quality function. All GEOX shoes promise sweat-free technology.
