Loafers are a particularly symbolic footwear style, a rite of passage even. For many, they\u2019re the first \u201creal\u201d shoes: school shoes, church shoes, the kind your parents insisted on polishing before assembly or Sunday service. Shoes that have memories and feelings built in.<\/p>\n<p>That sense of nostalgia is a driving creative factor behind Vinny\u2019s, a brand that was founded by Virgil Nicholas in Copenhagen in 2019, and named after his son. Nicholas explains that friendships, special occasions, and childhood memories all inform his approach to design and creating products. These evocations give the brand an approachable, creative edge, which is layered on top of the first impression of sartorial polish generally given off by a loafer or a brogue. Crafted by hand in Portuguese family?run ateliers, Vinny\u2019s footwear is defined by the timelessness and quality that you might expect from a heritage brand, but with all of the vibe, and none of the pretension.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15506\"

Nicholas about the ideas and inspiration behind the brand, and some of the ultimate accessories to pair with Vinny\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"hey-virgil-first-up-what-are-some-kicks-that-you-owned-that-you-remember-from-your-childhood\">Hey Virgil, first up, what are some kicks that you owned that you remember from your childhood?<\/h4>\n<p>The Nike Vandal Supreme, blue satin strap-up. I mashed that pair into the ground. My mom literally had to hide them and throw them out because I refused to retire them.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-was-the-original-inspiration-behind-vinnys-specifically-what-makes-american-and-french-style-references-so-important-to-vinnys\">What was the original inspiration behind Vinny\u2019s? Specifically, what makes American and French style references so important to Vinny\u2019s?<\/h4>\n<p>The short answer is my dad, my own coming-of-age, and my kids, past, present, and future.<br \/>\nMy parents dressed us in French prep when we were little. I soaked up American streetwear and later sportswear as soon as I could pick my own fits. Those two worlds are just the lens I see style through. They\u2019re not name-drops, more like muscle memory. It might sound romantic, but it\u2019s also complicated when you don\u2019t actually come from either place. Vinny\u2019s is me making that mix work.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15505\"

shoe is a real story. The Aztec is named after my childhood friend\u2019s break-dancing crew. We lived in three-eye lugs when Prestos weren\u2019t spinning on the vinyl. The Peeters was designed for a buddy\u2019s wedding and ended up sticking around. If there\u2019s no personal hook, I can\u2019t design it.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"what-do-you-think-has-made-the-loafer-so-timeless-and-appealing\">What do you think has made the loafer so timeless and appealing?<\/h4>\n<p>Because purpose never goes out of style. There\u2019s always a reason to clean up, maybe a big occasion, maybe just for your own headspace.
