When Comfort Meets Class: Armando Cabral's Sneaker Shoe Collection

Bissau-Guinean Supermodel Armando Cabral's shoe label and collection.

You probably recognize Bissau-Guinean star model Armando Cabral. Throughout his career, Cabral has worked with Dior Homme, Louis Vuitton, Thierry Mugler, Calvin Klein, Dries van Noten, Michael Kors, Lacoste amongst others. His face has taken the runway, magazine covers and campaigns by storm worldwide. He was a clear and obvious choice for our Top 10 African Male Models & Faces and we're delighted to show some additional love to this talented individual this week for his outstanding shoe collection. "I am very particular with my shoes. My personal style reflects a modern classic approach, and at the same time, I like to be relaxed. So it's really about comfort, quality and design," Cabral mentioned. It's definitely a great clash between comfort and class in these sneaker-shoes. Tweet #pretapoundo to talk about them.
