Cord Blimey! Nicholas Deakins Cord Shoes

For many years now middle aged casual dressers, especially of the Northern persuation, have lamented the lack of suitable shoes of a corduroy nature. While adidas have reissued numerous 70s and 80s classics via their originals range, the revered 'cord shoe' popular in the North West in the 80s never seems to have materialised.

Many have tried but not quite got it right. The sole never worked, the upper was never fully cord, the lace holes were too few or too numerous.

But now from the surprising but long established shoe brand Nicholas Deakins, is the first time a modern day shoe brand has got is pretty much right. Crepe sole, full cord upper, the lot. They're ace, they really are. But they're not just for ageing fans of the luxury scruff, dressed down to dress up look. They're cool, full stop. I mean, just look at them.

The good news is we have them here in stock, in two colours. Click here to see them in more detail.
