Description

The White's x Division Road Black CXL LTT Oxford 300 is adapted from an industrial workwear shoe pattern from the Depression era, when footwear had to serve multiple purposes, from the factory floor to weekend outings. This Oxford shoe features a Lace-to-Toe pattern that provides function and durability for both the workshop and outdoors, while remaining suitable for daily wear in the modern world. These limited-edition Division Road White's are characterized by the venerable Black Chromexcel, featuring a dye-struck top grain with a natural core that will patina to an ebony, as deep scuffs and high-wear areas reveal the lighter color beneath. Chromexcel by Horween is the original pull-up leather, developed from a nearly century-old secret recipe of techniques, materials, and finishes. It is known for its flexibility, comfort, and durability. This shoe is developed in collaboration with Master Shoemaker and now CEO, Eric Kinney, to hallmark the quintessentially Northwest multi-paneled upper that allows for comprehensive rebuilds and pairs with White's exclusive stitchdown construction tradition using their unique hand-sewn and all-leather builds, all refined with our functional design approach that honors the original craftsmanship, history, and lifetime durability with a fresh perspective. This Oxford comes in the archival C461 Last, available in an accommodating D width, for a relatable fit for a variety of feet. This vintage work boot Last has an upturned, sprung toe with a moderate profile and width throughout and trademark mid-heel height Arch-Ease support, yielding a sophisticated logger aesthetic on a fully functional shoe. We exclusively enhanced White's hand-sewn welted methods with a tonally corresponding Natural CXL welt to match the natural finished leather midsole atop a Vibram 4014 Christy industrial sole for all-purpose comfort. This is combined with a single row, hand-sewn stitchdown to allow for greater flexibility and a clean aesthetic for the long haul. Finally, this exclusive LTT Oxford is enhanced with nickel eyelets, a custom White's tongue stamp, and a WB x DR collaboration insole stamp. Made as a hallmark of White's unaltered, hand-sewn traditions and customized to Division Road specifications, this LTT Oxford 300 has a polished aesthetic for urban environs and is built for all outdoor conditions.
