Attn: ACL Shop Adds New Shoes

Say what you want about Mr. Williams, his blog or his shop, but at the end of the day his products speak for themselves.  The blogosphere (part of me wants to start calling it "the style cartel") was kinda split on the shop's initial offerings and I can understand that.  When things went live people had good things to say, but nothing particularly glowing.  The stuff was good, but with Michael people usually expect out of this world.  It now appears as if things may be headed in the direction folks initially expected.

What has always interested me the most about the shop and, kinda Mr. Williams for that matter, is his relationships to industry folk, such as Mark McNairy (designer extrodaniare and creative director at J. Press).  Well, new shoes have launched and I am pretty impressed.  More red brick sole, but this time on some unconventional styles to feature such a detail ala longwings and cap toe boots.  Both shoes are made in England (like all of McNairy's shoes) and feature goodyear welts.  I'm ridiculously feeling the brown, pebbled leather longwing.  Cool stuff, but pricey.  Check 'em out.

Update: Must have also missed the Pendelton x Property Of... messenger bag when I typed this up originally.  I'm not a fan of messenger bags to begin with so this isn't as big of a deal as the new kicks mentioned above.  Apparently this is the first ever callaboration Property Of... (who makes fantastic stuff, got my brother one of their wallets recently) has ever done, so that's pretty noteworthy.  There are a bunch of different colorways available, so check out the store.
