Alden Madison x Stitchdown Indy Boot in Atlantic Club: $640
It’s so exciting to see these finally come to fruition! Back in the fall of 2021, a bunch of shoe nerds descended upon New York for the first-ever Stitchdown Shoenanza. One of the things we did on the trip was put our heads together at Alden Madison to design a completely unique Indy Boot. The result: a 379x-lasted makeup crafted with deadstock Atlantic Club calfskin, complete with nine brass eyes, a 270 storm welt, and brown neocork soles. Just a couple sizes remain!
