The accidental tattoos on Joey's Red Wings
Scuffed by walking, scratched by hiking, even blackened by riding a motorcycle. The evolution of colour in the leather of
Red Wing Shoes knows no boundaries. We value these developments and we praise the contrast of colour in a well-worn pair. As with a pair of dry denim the colours, scratches and stains reflect a person his lifestyle and sometimes even profession.
What our friend
Joey’s profession is is quite clearly visible when taking a glance at his
8113 Hawthorne Muleskinner Iron Rangers. Yes, Joey is a tattoo-artist, the Muleskinner leather is marked and stained by the ink that he works with. This pair of I
ron Rangers is worn with the
Flat Waxed Laces and beautifully blackened by the ink, that appropriately scars and stains a piece of skin. Perhaps we should call them accidental tattoos, by
Joey de Boer.
