Designed by Blackbird in collaboration with Alden of New England, custom bootmakers since 1884, this series of saddle shoes (also including the Leschi Picnic Saddle Shoe) was inspired by Seattle historical figure, Frank Osgood and his horse drawn and electrical streetcars. His contributions helped Seattle become a more modernized city and dramatically changed its street culture, helping Seattle's working man keep his shoes clean on his daily way through town and making his gal's Sunday afternoon picnics at Lake Washington as easy as hopping on a trolley. The Hayburner, named after the horses who pulled Seattle's earliest streetcars, features contrasting cordovan and Alpine pebble grain in black and whiskey brown, smart brass eyelets, and the classic saddle shoe shape that's adorned the feet of summertime dandies for decades.
