Firstly the title is not some error in code, it is actually the name of this weeks product. Anayway onto the post.
Now I have a little problem. A problem that affects many men out there. My ankles are as big as a Twiglet; come to think about it they actually look like a Twiglet, so when it comes to sandals, I momentarily hesitate. But after one look at this sneaker/sandal concoction, all that doubt and uncertainty flew straight out the window.
This suede sneaker from OTeZI3300 is sure to get people asking the question: ‘Just what they hell are they?’ This style is known as the OTZ-1. It has an internal stretch sock membrane that contours the foot for maximum comfort, warmth and breathability while its anti-microbial cork footbed is anatomically designed to promote a healthy posture.
It comes in a variety of colours but we feel that the sand-colourway provides most value for the average chaps wardrobe. The Velcro toe-strap is a design feature that really drew us in, plus the minimal branding is something that appealed to us even more. Subtle and stylish- just how we like it.
Now onto the look……
The look we created for the OTZ-1 was a very relaxed, casual one. Starting with the shoes, we made sure we didn’t wear socks- that’s a style sin almost as bad as string bag with suits and you know what we do to those folk!
We then paired it with a pair of light, stone-wash denim shorts. Tighten that up with a brown braided belt to keep things a little nautical.
Then we went for a little light layering; a white T-shirt provides a perfect base for coloured V-necks, so we dropped a forest green sweater on top and threw a casual twill shirt in an oatmeal to help compliment the sand sneakers.

Finally we rolled the shorts up, as well as the sleeves of the shirt and sweater. A loose fitting shirt keeps it looking casual and the earth tone colour palette of greens and tans fuse the look together.
So for those fellas looking for an alternative to the classic Nike Air Rifts, our Californian friends have just the right thing. Head over to OeTZI3300 to take a closer look.
As always,
Stay stylish,
Aaron & Reuben.
