Shoes are an integral part of every outfit and the right pair can take you from looking good to great. The saying goes that “shoes maketh the man”, and luckily for you, at Tonic we’ve got a few great options to add to your rotation.
Playboy Footwear – Originals
If you’re after a pair of effortlessly cool shoes, then look no further than Playboy Footwear’s original chukka styles. Created in 1936 by an English shoemaker in Northampton, characterised by their unique, thick crepe sole construction, they’re a classic silhouette that never goes out of style. The ‘chukka’ is named after the 7-minute period in a polo match and was originally designed for the sport, but were soon spotted off the polo field popularised by Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, Mods and Rockabillies in the 50s and 60s. The chukka was originally designed to be comfortable, supportive and hardwearing; Playboy Originals are hand lasted in the finest hunting suede with a full calf leather lining staying true to that heritage. Water resistant and built to last, they’re a great choice for the autumn/ winter season.
Available in low top and high top styles, and suitable for almost any kind of outfit and any kind of occasion, they’ll easily become the star of your shoe rotation.

Retro sportswear styles have had a huge revival in recent years and the vintage inspired silhouette of Italian brand Nomad Society’s velcoce trainers are an easy way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe.
