Attn: Mark McNairy For Urban Outfitters

In what looks like to be his last collaboration for a while as he transitions over to Woolrich Woolen Mills, Mark McNairy has teamed up with Urban Outfitters to release 3 exclusive collaborative shoes from his New Amsterdam line.  On top of this word has it that he will also design an exclusive line of affordable footwear co-branded with UO called Good Souls - sounds like the little brother of his Red Brick Soul collection.  The current collaborations range from $328 to $368 and feature a leather cap toe boot, a wedge sole longwing and a red brick saddle shoe.  I know you guys are probably sick of hearing about all of Mark's collaborations, but this Good Souls line is some pretty big news for both Mark and UO.  A few months ago I heard rumored discussions were taking place between these two parties and I'm still kinda surprised they ended up working together. Friends with benefits rule.

    Those saddles are D.O.P.E.

    thanks for showing me that longwing with the nurse heel.

    now i can comfortably ignore anything Mark McNairy puts his name on from now until the end of time.

    Why would I spend $300 + on a colabo when I could get the original aesthetic for less. However, those wedge soled brogues are worth a second look.

    So, where are the affordable options? I guess they're coming at a later date.

    UO is weak. Shop at a small local shop and get the attention you deserve. UO is trying so hard ! They don't realize that as soon as they touch these trends they kill them. Who shops at Urban to buy shoes for $300+ and get zero service from some teenager. They tried it with Redwings and fell flat on their faces and discounted them at 50% off.

    The cap toe boot is nice but the wing tips with it's sole is wicked.
