No. 569 represents the union of various style traditions in a single fashionable and elegant men’s shoe. Strictly speaking, the roots of this dark brown full-brogue Oxford with closed five-eyelet lacing lie in 19th-century England; at Oxford College, to be precise. There, this comfortable lace-up shoe was beloved by students. It quickly became a must-have among all gentlemen, and has been an international staple ever since.
