Named after the date of its creation, 1st april, 1961, our 1461 shoe has become iconic. Originally sold as a durable working man's shoe, in the 70s and 80s the style became popular with political protesters, and as a fashion item at universities across britain. Today it's worn as a statement of self-expression by trendsetters from all walks of life. This totally black and white version of our iconic 1461 3-eye shoe is inspired by a traditional pack of playing cards. To the upper there's a checkerboard design in black and white featuring hearts, skulls, clubs and spades – all a twist on the suits found in decks of playing cards.
