  is a shoe that never gets old. Tinker Hatfield’s seminal design looks as good now as it did 31 years ago, and so we’re always happy to introduce another pair into the rotation.

The latest iteration shakes up the usual mesh and leather combo with hardy ripstop nylon on the toe box and heel collar, and supple leather on the mudguard. We have to admit, the black, gunmetal and purple scheme isn’t what we'd pick for summer, but you can always stash them away until the colder weather kicks in.

Whether you want to rock these now, or keep them on ice for a few months, they are available now on NDC.
