ROYAL ELASTICS (Australia/USA) Slip-On Laced-Up Dress Shoe

Successfully diversifying beyond the classic elastic sneakers that initially dominated its lineup, Royal Elastics has introduced a positively fashion-forward -- but still of the slip-on design! -- dress shoe in high-grade distressed and antiqued leather or elegant buffed nubuck leather.
Elasticated laces and hidden elastic panels on the canvas inner sock further make for the easy slip-on, slip-off function.
Wear it casual or just a tad dressy, this shoe doesn’t waste time and looks simply amazing!


ROYAL ELASTICS
In 1997, fresh from the success of producing disco parties in Sydney, 20-year-old Tull Price and pal Rodney Adler decided to start their own streetwear shoe line. At the time of its launch, Royal Elastics was characterised by comfortable shoes that could be put on and removed shoes swiftly using elastics. Under the slogan “no time for laces”, Royal Elastics carried out strategies that met with great acceptance from active youth, particularly in the music and art industries. Today Royal Elastics is based in Los Angeles, and Price and Adler, who have gone on to work on their new luxury sneaker line FELT (previously posted here). And despite rocky times plaguing the fashion trade, Royal Elastics has, under its new EVP and chief creative director John Bondoc, victoriously survived several changes and uncertainty, prevailing as one of the most innovative brands around.

P.S. Be prepared for compliments, if not plenty of "did-you-draw-the-lobster-yourself"s :-D
TRETORN
Founded in Sweden at the end of the 19th century, Tretorn’s association with life on and off court rapidly created something of a cult following surrounding the brand, a status which was firmly secured when Wimbledon winners took to the grass in Tretorn in the 1970s. Inspired by the high profile and success of the brand, Tretorn's canvas and leather Nylites were literally the only shoe in which to be seen wearing on North American campuses throughout the 1980s. Lean and understated, the Tretorn sneaker was as good as the first luxury sports shoe on the market. Tretorn’s expertise in rubber-made products demonstrates a consistent commitment to quality and brand over hype, offering a collection most appreciated by those with a practical sensibility and a lifestyle largely enjoyed outside.
