florsheimIn celebration of footwear brand Florsheim‘s 125th Anniversary, the company has released two limited-edition, re-issued oxfords for spring 2017.

The team at Florsheim looked through their vault of past and original styles created in the early 1900s as inspiration and re-imagined two classic silhouettes as limited-edition oxfords.

The 125th cap toe Oxford features an embossed pattern, re-created using exact measurements from the original Florsheim archival style debuted in 1905.

The 125th Wingtip Oxford draws its inspiration from a short wing featured in Florsheim’s 1908 advertisement. Detailed in Horween Essex Veg Tan, the uppers start as a light tan and naturally darken, developing a patina over time. This unique design is one of Florsheim’s earliest wingtips, an innovative style for the time.

The two oxfords are now available for purchase for $250 and are available at florsheim.com.
