Putting a modern interpretation on a classic style often leads to good things. As long as the basics of that classic style are respected and maintained, and the thing isn’t bastardized beyond recognition.
Wingtips are back and they’ve been slimmed down, booted up, and improved upon. But finding an affordable pair just isn’t that easy (the search for the perfect modern wingtip has gone pretty cold.) At Noon ET Gilt will launch a sale that features nothing but wingtips. And it looks like it could be a good one. Here’s the preview text:
.
“There may be no look more classic than a good pair of wingtips—and it’s been a long time since they’ve been as popular as they are right now. Embrace the trend with one of the dozens of pairs in our packed-to-overflowing sale, which features everything from classic solid wingtips in every shade of brown and black to futuristic “wingtip sneakers” by Schmoove—and everything in between.”

Futuristic Wingtip Sneakers? Probably going to want to skip those (bastardized…) But if this sale really is “packed-to-overflowing” with a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and interpretations? Then it might be one of the better shoe sales Gilt has had in a good long while.

What did you think? Seemed like the selection was really small, esp for my size 9.
It was a gigantic “mneh” from me. Had one shoe that I was interested in, but not THAT interested in.
Weak selection. Gilt over-promises and under-delivers again. I did like the ben sherman weekend bag on gilt today.
@joe – gap inc give and get 30% this weekend, should I email you the link or put it on fb?
@JMG: Well put with the over-promise and under-deliver. That Ben Sherman weekend bag is pretty sweet though. As far as the GAP promotion goes, let’s do both. Just sent you an email. Thanks!
I didn’t check out the wingtip selection today, but I agree overall the the over-promise under-deliver sentiment. Been quite disappointing for a while now.
