Saddle shoes are enjoying a revival on the streets of Chicago as men turn towards more polished looks. We spotted Tazh on State Street outside of Block 37 wearing the Cole Haan Air Colton Saddle Oxford in “Amazon” green. We love the bold color choice for spring, although footwear this sleek is appropriate year-round. The shoe features crocodile stamped leather and contrast stitching to add texture. These kicks can easily be dressed up for the office or down for the weekend. We love how Tazh casually paired his with jeans and a fedora for an on-the-go menswear chic, and the firefighter red shirt adds the perfect pop of color.
