There's a brown, forest green and black pair that's clearly a nod to the famed 'beef & broc' workboots that are a part of any New York City winter, and a sail, purple, navy and black pair that may draw its inspiration from the colours of NYC subway cars in the 1990s – a theory given weight by the campaign's promotional image, which features both shoes on a wheatpaste-style background with some hastily-scrawled graffiti tags. Each shoe also features special ALD branding on its heels and insoles.
