both high and mid cut shoes offers angle protection, and so it can be a dilemma when choosing between the two styles, but with the Tobe x Simpleton Simpler Times Sneakers, you’d save yourself the headache by scoring yourself a pair of sneakers that is convertible from mid to high tops and vice versa (basically, it is just a matter of folding the top down). as the product name implies, this pair of “transformable” shoes is a collaboration between new shoe maker Tobe and design collective Simpleton, both hailing from Middle Earth aka New Zealand.
it features a Merino upper, matched to New Zealand leather. other details include leather accents, leather laces and insole, tan rubber outsole and snap-fit dome. if you are looking for a pair of kicks that is loud and not too outlandish, the Tobe x Simpleton Simpler Times Sneakers might be a worthy candidate. personally, i thought the extended tongue (with the prominent branding in leather) paired with a folded down mid looks pretty rad. the Tobe x Simpleton Simpler Times Sneakers come in three colorways black on black, white on charcoal and black on charcoal, and are available now from Simpleton web store now for $190 a pair. have a few more look in the image gallery below.
