I really should get myself some retro Pumas. Maybe a pair of States, as I wear Ferrari branded shirts and jackets with skinny / slim fit trousers. I reckon States would straddle the perfect boundary between formal and casual.
you should do. Then you and morris (and your respective 'crews') can have a break dancing dance off in a disused car park in walthamstow. Blown2CV said:

Not far from Walthamstow at the moment, too...
Question to the sartorial types. 
Formal shoes. Derbies or Oxfords. Any suggestions for some black items with a small contrast detail. Possibly like this.
Subtle, just enough to show character / interest. Not something nuts like Jeff West items.
Also not "high shine" like this. A more muted grain.
Alternatively what say you on doing some different colour laces on a plain black shoe? Not fluro pink! But a muted dark Blue or Green that compliments a navy suit.
I'm discounting Brown shoes with navy, but am I being rash?

I'd go Oxfords and I wouldn't have contrast stitching.Formal shoes. Derbies or Oxfords. Any suggestions for some black items with a small contrast detail. Possibly like this.

Patent shoes only with a dinner suit for evening wear. The others are horrible IMO Formal shoes. Derbies or Oxfords. Any suggestions for some black items with a small contrast detail. Possibly like this.

Yeah, I wouldn't go for Patent. Just regular finish. I ask because I have some Sweeney's and there's a thin green line running through the heel. Which I like as a detail. So would like something similarly tasteful on some formal lace ups. Just to differentiate a little.
Just found these (Yes the tag would be removed) Not sure they're really "Black" though
And also massively discounted these Paul Smith items!
I think I'm erring towards getting some subtle coloured laces on some decent all black items, as it's reversible.
Edit to add.
Quite like these Paul Smiths, but not at £185! Nice little subtle touch.
