Martin Oxblood Saddle Oxford - 675

The Martin is an oxblood saddle Oxford — and oxblood is the boldest combinable color a man can own. A deep, wine-dark red that works with gray, navy, charcoal, and denim the way black does, then adds the character black can't; it reads formal in any light but gives the traditional saddle silhouette a color few people expect. Few men dare it, which is the point: it signals taste, not risk. Closed lacing, a shaped saddle panel across the instep, an almond toe. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the oxblood burnished by hand at the toe and heel so it glows and shifts instead of lying flat; the saddle panel grounds the expression. It's built on the 675 last — comfortable fit. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it dressed.

A handcrafted shoe, high-grade leather, hand-burnished oxblood on a heritage silhouette — the no-brainer for the man who wants something from his Oxford beyond correctness. Under gray flannel or dark suits it changes the register of the whole outfit.

Correct in shape. Chosen in color. The saddle Oxford for the man who knows the difference.
