Original. Since 1949. Made In England. 1949. The year that George Hamilton Cox created the Dace as the first ever D-Ring Creeper. Setting in motion 75 years of subcultural uniform, the Dab took English footwear in a pioneering new direction. Subverting the notion of what men's shoes should look like, even still, it's no wonder it has represented the authentic alternative for every generation since its inception.
