Description

The White's x Division Road Black CXL LTT Oxford 300 is adapted from an industrial workwear shoe pattern from the Depression era when footwear had to serve multiple purposes, from factory floor to weekend outings. This Oxford shoe pattern comes with a Lace-to-Toe quarter, a lineman patch over the vamp, a full counter, and a bellows tongue to provide function and durability for the workshop or outdoors while remaining appropriate for daily duty in the modern world. These Division Road White's are characterized by the Black CXL leather that's dye struck on the top grain with a natural core that will reveal the lighter color beneath with deep scuffs and high wear areas. Chromexcel by Horween is the original pull-up leather developed from a nearly century-old secret recipe of techniques, materials, and finishes and is known for its flexibility, comfort, and durability. This shoe is designed in collaboration with Master Shoemaker and now CEO, Eric Kinney, to hallmark the quintessentially Northwest multi-paneled upper that allows for comprehensive rebuilds and pairs with White's exclusive stitchdown construction tradition using their unique hand-sewn and all-leather builds, all refined with our functional design approach that honors the original craftsmanship, history, and lifetime durability with a fresh perspective. This Oxford comes with an unstructured toe box that gives a low profile form to the popular Arch-Ease 55 Last, known for providing trademark support with a more approachable break-in while having an elegant, classic round toe shape with an accommodating forefoot and moderate volume that matches a wide variety of feet. We exclusively enhanced White's hand-sewn welted methods with a tonally corresponding Natural CXL welt to match the natural finished leather midsole and half-slip atop a Vibram 2060 industrial walking sole for all-purpose trekking comfort that's combined with a single row, hand-sewn stitchdown to allow greater flexibly and a clean aesthetic for the long-haul. Finally, this exclusive LTT Oxford comes with contrasting heavy-duty natural upper thread for the rugged and is refined with brass eyelets, a custom White's tongue stamp, and WB x DR collaboration insole stamp. Made as a hallmark of White's unaltered, hand-sewn traditions and customized to Division Road specifications, this LTT Oxford 300 has a polished aesthetic for urban environs and is built for all outdoor conditions.
