Mark McNairy New Amsterdam Suede Derby Boot (Photos Inside)

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.
