Sneak Peek: Randy Brown Signature Shoe.

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Here’s a peek at Randy Brown’s new signature shoe aka The Function. This is the black leather version. The idea with this shoe was to provide the ankle protection of a mid-top with the comfort and flexibility of a low-top. We went with leather material and a black-bottom sole to provide the longest lasting shoe possible. Available Spring 2009.
