In my 25 years on planet earth (hehe), I've shopped for a pair of school shoes roughly around 15 times already. I'As far as I can remember, I've always bought a pair every year...well, except, maybe, if the existing pair of black shoes is still wearable the following school year, or nasira kaagad kalagitnaan palang ng taon. Hehehe.
That's because I went to schools where you have to wear proper (and complete! --kasama ID) uniform:
From high school..
...And even in college!
Although I hate it that it's so hard to look for a nice and comfy black school shoes for my HUGE feet (I always look for the easy-to-wear loafers type), I have to admit I actually miss shopping for back-to-school stuff. Lahat bago, AT lahat LIBRE ni mommy and daddy, hehehe. :)
Now MANELS brand rocks to school by bringing The Darker Side of Black. Manels Leathergoods, the country's pioneer brand in leather, heads into the Back-to-School season with its campaign entitled “Black Rockin' School”.
“We want to bring the sexy back into black” says Mark Siggaoat, VP for Operations of Manels.
The Manels “Black Rockin' School” collection highlights mid-cut leather boots, rubber-soled oxfords with a sneaker-type finish, and casual loafers for the men. For the ladies, modern mary janes and patent leather finish highlights the collection.
Leather remains at the core of the brand's collection and campaign. Visibly, the store's look for the season takes its cue from vintage 70's punk rock. “We were inspired by that rugged black leather jacket look from the 70's popularized by The Ramones” says Siggaoat. Manels continues to reinvent itself in staying at the forefront of leather footwear since its inception in 1964.
