Here's some news to make you proud (or nauseated, depending on your political views) of your Music City roots. Johnston & Murphy shoe company, a division of Nashville-based Genesco Inc., has designed some shoes especially for President Obama. According to the company's press release, J&M has "designed a truly unique pair of shoes to complement the president's sharp and sophisticated fashion sense." As for the fashion-challenged staff of Pith, who are typically clad in New Balance sneakers, jeans and T-shirts, all we can say is, "They look pretty cool, as far as dress shoes go." In other words, if we had to go to a wedding or something, and thus were forced to dress up, we could live with this shoe option. It's sleek, tapered, elegant ... classy yet sassy.
