Among various designs, they stand out as the most flamboyant and opulent; yet, when worn, they often evoke a nostalgic, retro ambiance. The earliest Spectators are said to have originated in the 19th century, specifically crafted for cricket. As depicted, they were initially all white to complement the attire. However, it was soon discovered that this design was impractical. The intense running on grass would quickly soil the shoes, detracting from the overall appearance. To address this issue, shoemakers began incorporating more dirt-resistant black and brown leather onto the frequently scuffed toe caps and heels, thus creating unprecedented new color combinations. When players wore these shoes on the field, they unexpectedly sparked a trend. Spectators in the audience began wearing similar shoes to the games, creating a unique spectacle. Shoes with this color scheme thus earned the name Spectators. In America during the same period, jazz music was flourishing. Perhaps driven by a desire for uniqueness, the distinctively styled Spectators quickly gained popularity among jazz musicians and mobsters, becoming almost synonymous with the roaring 20s of jazz and organized crime. Fueled by jazz musicians and the media, this trend soon swept into the film and television industry. For a time, Spectators were an unstoppable cultural phenomenon. As time has passed, the influence of Spectators may not be as pervasive as before, but for those who admire the glamour of the 1920s and 30s, jazz, and the swing music of that era, these color combinations remain the discerning choice for formal footwear! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48288745556_9d32453f18_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48288849402_efdb4feba9_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48288744131_24e78ce6c7_c.jpg 【Manufacturing Process Introduction】 https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1868/44602525142_df8f50082f_t.jpg **• 100% MIT, Supporting Taiwan's Local Industry** From last making to stitching, our solid craftsmanship, stitch by stitch, is rooted in Taiwan.
