Would you wear it? The Calvin Klein Textured Lace-up

Calvin Klein Carter Lace-Up – $112.00 (reg. $140.00)

No code necessary for the discount.  Endless is running a very quiet, 20% off select oxfords right now.

Turn to page 12 of the April issue of Esquire.  The one with Matthew McConaughey on the front.  You there?  ‘kay.  That ad for the Calvin Klein shoe which is also conveniently above^?  That’s the new Calvin Klein Carter, and it just went on sale.

Most casual lace ups are far from sleek.  Especially if you’re going for a shoe with texture, and then they’re usually suede and almost always boxy as can be.  These don’t appear to have that seemingly ever-present problem of clunk, and instead come through with what could be a close to perfect shape

Available in three colors with leather, not suede uppers, and rubber soles.  Looks pretty good sockless.

But that stamped texture.  It’s unique.  It’s uniform.  But is it a positive or a negative?

Free overnight shipping since it’s a brand new style.
