"Collins" Plain Toe Derby in Navy Nubuck, Barrie Last

The "Collins" Plain Toe Derby in Navy Nubuck is made exclusively for Brick + Mortar and a limited release, meaning it will not be made again. This shoe is crafted from a navy nubuck leather which is soft, sturdy and substantial. While suede is made from the softer underside of the hide, nubuck is made from the hide’s tougher exterior side, which is thicker and has a more robust feel. While both leathers have a nap, nubuck’s nap is considerably shorter in length. This shoe is inspired by the original “Bucks” derby shoe of the turn of the century. Light-colored suede and nubuck derby shoes made with a red sole were popular among students and graduates of Ivy League colleges in the Northeast. This sleek and casual shoe is crafted on the popular Barrie Last with a red rubber outsole, tonal stitching and blind eyelets which provide an extremely wearable, classic-cool style.

Alden footwear is crafted using Goodyear Welt construction, which allows for a full restoration when necessary and a water resistant build. A tempered steel shank under the arch and a cork fill provides remarkable support and comfort throughout the day.
