The Baldwin

“— you have to decide who you are, and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you.” – James Baldwin, The Last Interview and Other Conversations

 

 

The Baldwin boot. An ode to the late, great literary master of and beyond his time; James Baldwin.

 

 

Inspired by an iconic image of James Baldwin sitting on a stool outside of his house in the South of France, featured in Esquire in 1980.

 

 

A fierce Leo and native New Yorker, Baldwin exposed society for its shortcomings. An intellectual and eloquent black, gay man in America, the power of his words/intellect commanded the attention of many despite race and class.

 

 

Feel empowered walking into any room in the Baldwin boots, and leave a sense of your presence behind upon exiting.
