The Bully You Can Love- Bottega Veneta's Essential Shoe

Were it possible to boil down fashion for Spring/ Summer 2008, the little jammy reduction at the bottom of the pan would look remarkably like these shoes from Bottega Veneta. A fun reflection of the relaxed formality Tomas Maier created for Spring, these woven wonders are a clever amalgam of golfing, orthopedic and sun-bleached preppy influences. They come in the three Miami pastels above (the grey and the blue are the colourways to go for) and are beautifully made (well it is Bottega) in super-soft calfskin. Peculiarly they're called "Bully", although they're certainly no thug, and are available to pre-order in the US now. Lucky devils.

Oh, and please don't wear them to actually play golf. They're far more Palm Beach than sand-trap...

"Bully" shoes by Bottega Veneta retail at $640 and are available here.
