Nanny State - Now available to buy at Footasylum

It’s not about merging the boundaries, it’s about breaking the mould.

The philosophy is very simple, take a classic shoe, combine with the sporty/casual vulcanized process to create a hybrid piece of footwear that is not a shoe nor a trainer.

Classic styles are given the Nanny State treatment to bring them kicking and screaming in to the 21st century. Take a classic shoe and turn it on its head. This is the Nanny State way. Bold accents of colour, quirky details and a hybrid fusion of past and present.

The footwear was initially designed as an accessory for the Nanny State Clothing range but in a short space of time Nanny State has firmly established itself as the must have fashion footwear.

Nanny State footwear is now available to purchase online and instore from Footasylum.
