New Balance’s 996 model is a favorite for us because of its slim and sleek silhouette. The shape makes it look great with long pants or shorts.
The latest 996 release is the M996BSN, a bold color way with a strong grey base and a bright red contrast.
Made in USA.

The “Old Fashioned” is my favorite cocktail. Sugar, bitters, and bourbon equals happiness in my book.
My favorite Old Fashioned in Hawaii is made by my friend Justin Park at the Manifest. Justin is a partner owner of the Manifest and one of Hawaii’s most celebrated mixologists. He has competed and won at many national competitions and after trying his cocktails it’s no secret why he has so much acclaim.
The Manifest itself is an amazing space and concept. Once you step inside you forget where you are. I always love spaces like that, where you can escape from your everyday reality, even if just for a moment.
Tom’s Tip: Try the Shoedaddy downtown crawl. Start at the Manifest for a few Old Fashioned, grab a “Sweet Bangkok” at Bar 35, a few beers and a slice at JJ Dolan’s, then finish with pho from The Pig and the Lady (when they open shortly in Downtown).

The Longwing Blucher, or LWB, is one of Alden’s American classics. We’ve released the LWB in almost every shade of cordovan, calf, and suede in the past. Our next few restocks will be the suede variations, starting with snuff suede. Tan suede and dark brown suede will be arriving shortly.

We’ve just received a restock of the black calf Barrie V-Tip, one of our most popular “basics.” A “basic” is what we consider a shoe that has a rightful place in the most basic of shoe wardrobes. Boring, maybe, but sometimes it’s hip to be square.
SOLD OUT!

The shop has been busy, and I haven’t been able to run away. I will also use the Back in Five segment to keep you updated with the happenings at Leather Soul Downtown.
I was able to persuade our very own, YM, to model some of his favorites. He is wearing some new ready-to-wear arrivals paired with his favorite Drake for Leather Soul ties.

Our first order also features two casual options; both fabrics are lightweight and meant to be worn tucked in or un-tucked. The cut is a modified casual American slim flit: clean back, higher arm holes, and a shorter body length.
Made in USA.

The Alden 966 is the Alden shoe that you probably don’t own but you definitely should. A classic short wingtip on the elegant Aberdeen last, the 966 looks great dressed up or down and the burnished tan calfskin ages wonderfully with wear.
