Description

The White's x Division Road Dark Brown Waxed Flesh LTT Oxford 300 is adapted from an industrial workwear shoe pattern from the Depression era, when footwear had to serve multiple purposes, from the factory floor to weekend outings. This Oxford shoe pattern features a Lace-to-Toe quarter, a lineman patch over the vamp, a full counter, and a bellows tongue, providing function and durability for both the workshop and outdoors, while remaining suitable for daily wear in the modern world. These limited-edition Division Road White's are characterized by the dutiful Dark Brown Waxed Flesh produced by Horween in a similar process to Chromexcel. Using a wax application during the tanning process on the roughout side of Natural CXL yields a leather with water-resistant properties, designed to patina by revealing the sand-colored nap of the flesh side over prolonged use. This shoe is developed 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 in the archival C461 Last, available in an accommodating D width, for a relatable fit for a variety of feet. This vintage work boot Last has an upturned, sprung toe with a moderate profile and width throughout and trademark mid-heel height Arch-Ease support, yielding a sophisticated logger aesthetic on a fully functional shoe. We exclusively enhanced White's hand-sewn welted methods with a tonally corresponding Black CXL welt to match the black-stained leather midsole atop a black Vibram 4014 Christy industrial sole for all-purpose comfort. This is combined with a single row, hand-sewn stitchdown to allow for greater flexibility and a clean aesthetic for the long haul. Finally, this exclusive LTT Oxford features a contrasting heavy-duty black upper and welt thread, creating a two-tone evolution that is both rugged and refined. It is further enhanced with oxidized eyelets, a custom White's tongue stamp, and a 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.
