コンセプトについてRFのコメントは
IS THAT EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, NEW YORK IS STILL BRIGHT AS DAY BECAUSE OF ITS CITY’S BRIGHT LIGHTS. THIS CONSTANT CYCLE OF ENDLESS DAYS IS A MAJOR FACTOR FOR THE NEW YORKER’S MENTALITY. PEOPLE HUSTLE HARDER HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT OUR REWARD IS BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN ARGUABLY THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD.”
Drawing inspiration from our northerly location in Scotland where the dark winter evenings are in stark contrast to the long summer nights, we looked to the ‘gloaming’ and enduring skies of the fairer months and have applied a luxurious blue azure suede and plush purple nubuck to the upper.
Depicting the shimmering lights of the sky we added a bespoke perforation to the vamp which includes a tonal 3M underlay as well as reflective Tiger Stripes and woven lace. When the shoe catches the light it illuminates, mirroring the ever changing hues during the evenings of the summer months. Further night-themed inspiration can be found on the blue frosted segments to the outsole whilst a plush printed celtic knot and flame pattern is applied to the collar lining – a light nod to our Scottish roots and the ancient Celtic association with the solstice.
