Inaugural Timeless Shoes

The WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie SS15 Footwear Collection is Fundamental

— June 21, 2014 — Fashion
The WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie SS15 Footwear collection falls in line with the rest of the designs that have come out of this Montreal, Canada-based studio. Founders Byron and Dexter Peart embrace timeless aesthetics for a menswear line that is made for sophisticated modern men who don't want to lose their urban swagger.

Comprised of two styles, the WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie SS15 Footwear collection addresses both casual and dressy needs. The Montoro has a classic derby design with an updated bias cut and the signature finishes in gold and silver while the Lennon boasts a sportier look with an oxford style for its sneaker. Yet both are good for many different occasions.
