Want list – Derbies by Acne

Want list – Derbies by Acne

There’s very little the Swedes aren’t good at making. Killer smoked fish? Check. Beautiful blonde women? Check. Impeccably crafted lace-ups? Double check. These sleek Derbies in a rich shade of burgundy, from Swedish brand Acne, are some of the best of the season. The warm colour is offset by the thick, raw-leather sole, and the twill tabs at the heel add a touch of Acne elegance. (£390, shop.acnestudios.com)

Want list – Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite

Want list – Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite

For poets, autumn is a wistful time of year. For people who play football, it’s just an excuse to pick out a new pair of boots. With boot-launch season well under way, it’s hard to fight through the countless promises of lighter, faster, cutting-edge footwear capable of anything bar driving you home after the game, so it’s tempting to keep it classic. Nike’s new Tiempo Legend IV Elite certainly ticks the nostalgia box – a serious boot in soft black leather from the same design that Eric Cantona wore in his prime. But with a carbon-fibre sole plate and Flywire technology, it’s rooted in the here and now. And to clinch the deal, it’ll look even better caked in mud next Sunday. (Nike Store, £275)
