Red Wing Postman 101 vs Tricker's x Norse Projects

Some said that Norse Projects' recent collaboration with Tricker's is a cheesy copycat move by taking Red Wing's Style No. 101, Postman Oxford. I won't say that they are completely wrong though. It has a resemblance of the earlier model of Red Wing that has been quite famous all this years. But i think both still got their own character, and in the shoe game, it's always been about taking something from an old design, and makes it even more perfect, doesn't it? I mean, c'mon, it's hard to come up with an original shoe design nowadays.

Norse Projects x Tricker's Blucher Shoe

Common Projects x Robert Geller - Oxford Shoe in Black

The last collaboration from Common Projects that i do remember is the one they did with Evisu couple years back. Recently, Common Projects is doing a collaboration with Robert Geller for this beautiful classic Oxford Shoe with Black Shiny Tip. Features a commando sole and soft black calfskin outer, with Common Projects' signature serial number in gold. A very nice pair.
