Inspiration for Summer Footwear – Pointer

Really cool....

You know, its a bit like buses, you wait for ages for one to come then, a whole bunch comes all at the same time. Well, thats what this year’s Summer has been like, we’ve waited for ages then all of a suddenly there’s no let up ! We’ve not had any need for anything near Summer footwear all year, so when it does finally arrive we have a look in our shoe drawer and we have a sorry looking pair of Havaianas and a smelly old pair of trainers, it doesn’t cut the mustard, now does it ?

As always Clothes-Make-the-Man are on hand to offer indispensable advice and in today’s post its in the shape of PointerFootwear. Established in 2004 in London, Pointer was created with the aim of making simple and considered well-designed casual shoes as an alternative to technical trainers and various limited edition sneakers.

Today, almost a decade on they still hold true to the same vision. Creating high quality footwear, through meticulous attention to detail and a playful fascination for shape and colour. Life, in all it’s diversity is a key inspiration for the brand, from art and music, right down to their daily breakfast. Pointer employ people they like, that in turn inspire them, so from artists to interns,friends, accomplices, agents and distributors from around the globe. They play with the classics, mixing materials, patterns and geometric shapes to create their own interpretation and ideal of the footwear they would like to wear themselves.
