The TrendBox: "Laceless" dress shoes.

I've noticed this a second time now: Dress shoes (blucher or oxford style) that have eyelets, but are slip-ons using what I can only assume is elastic beneath the tongue. Meant to give that casual, "I-wear-dress-shoes-without-laces-and-socks" look while staying on your feet better. This reminds me a bit of the John Varvatos Chuck Taylors that came out a few years ago.
