Menswear has followed the same basic guidelines for countless years, and since men’s fashions have been essentially unchanged, I’m always intrigued when a simple staple is updated with a modern twist. The Mark McNairy New Amsterdam Suede Derby Boot is a shoe that falls under that category.

Similar to a construction boot, (perfect for the man who’s personal style follows a more masculine route) this suede lace up boot is updated with a bright blue rubber sole. This boot is available at Barney’s department stores for $485.

Elite.
