DJ Cassidy Debuts New Michael Jackson Inspired Rockport Boat Shoe

DJ Cassidy, one of the most sought-after deejays in the music industry, has recently launched new shoes inspired by Run DMC and Michael Jackson at the East Hampton Blue & Cream store. For the boat shoe colorway, DJ Cassidy modeled his design after what he believes is the greatest outfit of all time: Michael Jackson's ensemble in the Billie Jean music video - black leather suit, red bow tie, pink shirt, and pink socks. The DJ Cassidy's Rockport boat shoe features soft pink perforated leather, a red canvas upper, black pinstripe, gold eyelets, and a custom pink terry cloth footbed.





Commemorating each year of Michael Jackson's life, Rockport produced only 50 limited edition pairs of shoes. This new exclusive Rockport Bridgeport boat shoe is being touted by Russell Simmons, Ryan Leslie, Lyor Cohen, Andre Harrell, Swizz Beatz, and Paul Sevigny. It comes packaged in a custom DJ Cassidy shoe box, with pink tissue paper, a red satin bow tie, and a personalized card from DJ Cassidy detailing his inspirations. Again, these shoes are only available at the East Hampton Blue & Cream store.

Michael Jackson's Dancing Shoes

Michael Jackson's first Moonwalk was watched by the world in a 1983 Billie Jean performance - leaving everyone enthralled with both the pop icon's dance move and ensemble. The outfit worn by him included one white glove, glittery socks, and black penny loafers, all of which became a part of his trademark appearance. These low leather shoes are shoelace-free, with broad, flat heels and a moccasin construction. Comfortable and casual, yet still formal and fashionable, penny loafers were a major part of the king of pop's regular wardrobe. The talented singer became a fashion icon - even influencing this past season's runway with Givenchy's gold-studded jackets, Louis Vuitton's sequined gloves, and Balmain's crystal-dusted jackets.

In remembrance of a musical legend: RIP Michael Jackson (1958-2009)
