Top 5 Delicious Junction Shoes by Darron J Connett

This is a guest post by Darron J Connett

Having worked closely with the good people of Delicious Junction for a few years with my solo project, my bands CONNETT... and now with The last of the Troubadours, it is a pleasure to run down my top five DJ shoes.

Before I do this it is fair to say that I love all DJ shoes and I could talk clothes and shoes all day, but you wouldn’t want that! So in no particular order:

1. The Rawling, by a friend of TLOTT and DJ the great author Terry Rawlings. This really is the perfect shape if you’re from the modernist kind of mindset, my personal favourite colour is the purple, but now the black is out in a limited edition I guess that will change. It has a real authentic look about it circa 66-69, draped in a jumbo cord with leather detail it makes you feel like one of the small faces; the ultimate Del junction smart shoe.

2. I can’t really do this without a plug for Del junction/the last of the Troubadours collaboration "The Troubadour". The idea was first presented to us by Pedro Chilli at DJ who already had an idea, but Joel Rogers and I had our own ideas of how it should look, so got to work and invented the Chelsea shoe (THE TROUBADOUR) well sort of. It has a lovely shape to it, very Beatles, it looks great with a nice slim cut suit or skinny jeans and it represents the band very well; as always a pleasure to work with DJ on projects.

3. La Scarpa (the shoe in Italian) is perfect for the summer days bowling around your respected towns and cities, whether casual or smart it is a great statement shoe and comes in some great colours (I can’t decide my favourite as they’re all cool).This is another collaboration with our amico Paolo Hewitt who with DJ gave us the ultimate driving shoe.

4. The Crowley Desert boot (Gary Crowley collaboration) is just as good as any desert boot out there past and present. Great shape and style, only Delicious Junction has this many variations of colours, making them stand out from the rest. You can’t really reinvent the desert boot but you can lead by example and it’s fair to say that is being done right here.

5. The Merton is a great tassel loafer named after Mick Talbot from the Merton parkas or the London borough where the last of the Troubadours reside, I’m not quite sure; either way they look great in oxblood set off by a red sock for that Ivy League look, as loafers go you really can’t go wrong. I personally love these with a suit but they look just as good with jeans with an inch turn up; a modern day classic for me.

So that’s my top 5. Hold up I haven’t mentioned the Vandellas or the afterglows, what about the Stanhopes or the Brunswicks, the Rudeboys or the lovely universals or the detours? See, I told you I could go on forever. It’s fair to say that I love Del Junction and look forward to many years in partnership with my musical endeavours...
