WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie is entering the shoe game.

On the heels of its Jamaican House unveiling at Pitti Uomo, the men’s travel accessories brand has announced its plan to introduce a clean-cut selection of footwear that will be featured in its spring/summer 2015 collection. 

The range, which launches today, is comprised of two distinct shoe styles that collectively cover all your sporty and dressy needs. 

Made of premium Italian leather, the Montoro design is delivered in a classic derby silhouette punctuated with gold and silver finishes. Available in black, white, navy, cognac and brown, the shoe features high-performance sole construction that guarantees durability and comfort. 

On the sportier side, WANT Les Essentiels presents the Lennon—an oxford-style sneaker with cushioned insole, breathable lining and a custom rubber cupsole. Also made of premium Italian leather, this design comes in white, black, navy, palm green, blue coral and deep sea coloroways.

“Much like our inspiration for designing bags, we wanted to engineer footwear that provides a perfect blend of form, function and value,” says Dexter Peart, co-founder of WANT Les Essentiels. 

For more information on the brand’s current and future collections, go to its online store. And keep a look out for the release of WANT Les Essentiels sandals available later this season.
