Gotta Have It Tods Spring 2014 Collection 1

For spring/summer 2014, this traditional raw material is given special treatments and finishes and combined with modern technology to create a collection suited to the contemporary male cosmopolitan lifestyle.

The Tod’s footwear for the season is built around the House’s famous Gommino style with its rubber pebble sole. The new Gommino  has a square toe-shape with a raw-cut leather lace tie and comes in many colours. Other styles in the family include the slip-on Mocassino with its loafer strap, a Gommino  variant with a double-stripe strap, called the Fascia Stripe, and the Gommino Mocassino Bespoke, a model available exclusively at Tod’s stores which is elaborately hand-coloured and wax-polished, resulting in a distinctive cloudy effect on the calfskin.Gotta Have It Tods Spring 2014 Collection 3Gotta Have It Tods Spring 2014 Collection 4Gotta Have It Tods Spring 2014 Collection 5

The leather sole group of shoes and boots features a complex construction in which a leather sole is treated with rubber injections and rubber gommini details. Styles include the fringe, which has an elegant leather fringe with perforations, and micro buckle, the lace-up, which has graphic and modern perforations for a contemporary  elegant look which is smooth, simple and versatile, and the ankle boot , a clean style, completely devoid of visible stitching, with a side zip.
