Gary Crowley and Bruce Foxton, two well known FACES alright.

one for his Mod days and Radio Shows the other for his days as Bass Master in The Jam.The two have thrown some ideas at Icon and have come up with some tasty treats for your feet

Icons designing for Ikons

British footwear label Ikon has teamed-up with two living music legends, Bruce Foxton and Gary Crowley to produce two new ranges. The first release is a collaboration with Bruce Foxton who has been wearing Ikon Original Gibson white lace ups on his recent tours with 'From The Jam'. The Foxton version has four eyelets, light punch detail, the upper is made from pure white, full grain leather, there are black and white checkerboard calf linings, a white leather in-sock and contrast black stitch detail. Mr Foxton's signature is laser etched onto the white sole. Each pair is presented in a cloth bag placed in a luxury box and comes with a photo of Bruce wearing his.

Gary Crowley is an iconic DJ and performer (featured on Andy Lewis' album 'You Should Be Hearing Something Now'.

Crowley has a formidable passion for music and it's only right and proper that Ikon should immortalise this man in footwear.

Gary says of the collab. 'I've been Desert Boot crazy for as long as I can remember now. Perhaps it has something to do with with it's enduring, classic British quality. Plus of course it was a staple part of any self respecting Mod's wardrobe. And if it was good enough for those little sawdust ceaser's, it's certaily good enough for me! Plus they're so damn comfortable as well. To be invited to design my own take on the Desert Boot by those cool folk at Ikon is really a dream come true for me.

It's been fascinating following the process from the initial idea and design right through to the finished result. I'm absolutley thrilled with it. I hope people like them too. Plus it's another groovy addition to my ever expanding collection of 'em....' The boots come in a choice of black, dark green,ice white,chocolate brown, and cordrouy beige will be launched at the end of April and will be priced at £50.00

The Bruce Foxton Gibsons will only be available in strictly limited numbers priced at £80.00, and Gary's Crowley Desert Boots will be priced at £50.00.
