The Shoe Sandal

The Shoe Sandal introduces a formalised hybrid for the Spring Summer season, fusing structural shoe silhouettes with sandal cut-outs. Soft leather designs are reminiscent of Oxford shoes, modernised through multi-strap placements and sophisticated colour blocking.

Heavy Duty Lace-Up

Heavy Duty Lace-Ups breed new life into the traditional brogue and oxford design with a heavy duty appearance. Super thick soles in contrast shades feature defined treads, combined with a patent leather finish for statement appeal.

Extreme Sports Shoe

Extreme Sports Shoes builds upon the sneakers trend with exaggerated forms and multi-fastenings. Materials take inspiration from spongy neoprene, enhancing the statement silhouette. High-top designs welcome an expansion on detailing from high rise tongues to XXL straps.
