"— 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.

The Baldwin Boots are divine. I admire the craftsmanship, bringing together quality leather that has continued to become richer with age, and layers of solid wood for the heel. Comfort and style 💯 These boots are an investment that I know I will enjoy for quite a long time
