The Volta FW11 Pony Hair Collection Offers Luxuriously Hip Kicks for Men

— October 9, 2011 — Fashion
The recently released Volta FW11 Pony Hair footwear collection for men offers classic style and modern flair for the upcoming cold-weather season. The entire collection, as the name suggests, is made using pony hair materials. The pony hair has been meticulously stitched to create a leopard appearance, and is accompanied with a mock-toe stitching at the front of the shoe.

In addition to pony hair materials, the rest of the shoes are made using genuine tan leather from Italy. The Volta FW11 Pony Hair footwear collection features simple running shoe-meets-loafer silhouettes, offering both comfort and style. The combination of the leopard print against the simple leather makes for a very distinct style and look. These shoes will definitely make for a very stylish staple in any man's closet.
