NEW STANDARD

Cameron James and David Brown, the designers behind men’s footwear label Unknown Articles, came together thanks to an impulse many self-taught creatives share. “The inspiration behind Collection One was largely the staple footwear pieces that we found in our own wardrobes, those which we were constantly wearing,” James says about the styles that form the foundation for the brand. These slick and minimalist leather pairs are influenced by grunge and rock ’n’ roll subcultures from the 1970s and 80s. Each shoe is designed in their Toronto studio before being handmade in small batches in Italy’s Marche region. The results are timeless styles that can live in your closet for a lifetime.
