Footwear: Android Homme Propulsion II
November 30th, 2009
In the never ending quest to be original and different, very few brands have the eye or the foresight, so you are left with a bunch of things that always look the same. I discovered Android Homme footwear (love the name) about a year and half ago and I’ve been slowly monitoring their progress. These Android Homme Propulsion II are something pretty serious. They look simple and clean but at the same time they look full of life and character.
“The Propulsion II is part of the Holiday 2009 Collection. The duotone silhouette takes inspiration from the sleekness of a rocket ship, including a rocket booster ripple detail along the backside of the hi-top. The Propulsion II embodies a +/- charge, or a yin and yang polarity and is offered in a limited run of 200 pairs total. Features include full grain pebbled and pounded leathers and pigskin lining, as well as an embossed single strap and waxed laces.”
The Android Homme Holiday 2009 collection will be available December 1st in finer boutiques nationwide.

Your thoughts?
A little too high, a little to AJXII for my liking. I love the lower portion of the shoe, but above the white is a little much for me. Not to say it can’t be worn well.
I heard they’re doing a collaborative shoe with BlackScale which I’m excited to see though.
been peepin the brand on a low for a minute now too, the IIs are not bad but the first iteration is still better i think. i’d still rock these with the right outfit tho
The silhouette is similar to Supra Society, but these are much more clean and “mature”. I can see the AJXII referece with the stitching in the rear. THe key would be to rock to show off the entire shoe; I prefer the black because you can see the texture of the leather.
