Believe it or not, Oxford shoes have been around since the 1600s.
Gucci might be following tradition by crafting its Borger version from supple leather punctuated with broguing patterns, but these are primed for the 21st century. You see, the Italian fashion house stitches the sides with interweaving arcs of coloured thread and its signature bee motif. Sitting on a rubber sole, they’re a pair that might be suited to a boardroom, but now they wouldn’t look out of place in a bar either.
