Keep Ramos & Nuss (in twill & madras)

Keep always has some of the best sneakers around, and they never let it get dull by using unique materials and patterns.  Pictured above, the Ramos and Nuss incorporate a great combination of brown twill forefoot and madras on the heel.  Twill is not actually a type of material, but is textile weave of a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs.  Madras is a lightweight cotton fabric usually with a texture and plaid design.  [thank you, Wikipedia!].

The silhouette’s of these two shoes should be pretty familiar to you by now.  The Ramos is a mid shoe, almost chukka like in its design, but with a distinct heel pattern (here, the light brown plaid madras) that usually contrasts quite starkly with the rest of the shoe.  The Nuss is an interesting design, most notably in the fold down ankle.  It’s rarely pictured with the ankle piece folded up, but it looks pretty clean like that.  At least you can get two looks out of it.

Nuss and Ramos available at Karmaloop.
