Pointer Footwear has amassed a rather nice Autumn/Winter 2011 collection comprised of clean and casual styles such as this Chester shoe. The shoe comes in rich colors such as brick and dark brown, in a suede with leather upper, as well as some nice standard colors like black and grey (referred to as ’shark’ by Pointer) in canvas/leather.

Take a look at all available colors after the jump.

Five new color-ways of the Seeker III are making way in Pointer’s Autumn/Winter 2008 line. As we’ve come to expect from Pointer, the shoe is built on simple, effective construction and driven by subtle design detail. We will continue to preview individual models from the upcoming collection in the coming weeks, so keep checking. And don’t forget to read our feature with Pointer brain Gareth Skewis, here.
Full detailed images of the shoes construction and color options after the jump.

For the majority of folk out there, footwear choices amount to two brand conglomerates. You’ve got your Nike (and Converse) choice or the Adidas/RBK option. Retros, new models, cheapos for Target, Sears and Wal-mart. The big three (now really just two) cover all price points and retail outlets.
For the “adventurous,” footwear choices often amount to the same two brand conglomerates. Plus, a small collection of VANS. Traveling the boutique rout, it is easy to forget the breadth and scope of the big two and focus on the bells and whistles packaging devised to attract “early adaptors” and “cool guys.” Nothing wrong with these affinities (I have a closet full of nikes, adidas and vans),  but there is more to life than a swoosh, three stripes and a vector.
One brand offering respite from the big boys is Pointer. Founded in 2004, Pointer offers simple, clean and well-conceived footwear. They are inspired by basic life activities. Childhood memory. Skating. Breakfast. Ian Rush. And, unfortunately, trips to White Heart Lane.
Gareth Skewis is one of the minds behind Pointer (and the one who, regretfully, takes trips to White Heart Lane). He graciously allowed me to pick his brain about the brand, footwear and the need for ancillary product.  We exchanged emails for roughly a week, learned of some personal commonalities and ended up producing what I believe is an interesting read. Gareth, presumably, was at his office in London, while I was at mine, in Philadelphia.  –Nick Schonberger

The new Pointer Footwear Spring/Summer 2008 collection has just been released in stores. We give you a first look at the key pieces of the line.
The new Bastia Denim was added to the collection and adds a nice sailing shoe to the line-up, something a bit less sporty. In general the collection comes in nice colors and with strong patterns, something we have not seen a lot of from Pointer until now. We were always fans of the brand, but we enjoy the new life in this collection.

After the jump we give you a detailed look at all the styles.
