Volcom to launch footwear

Volcom is to launch a footwear range next season. The directional boarding brand, which

is owned by French luxury group PPR, confirmed plans to debut footwear next year, which will be available in stores from July.

The closed-toe line, which includes casual shoes for men and women features asymmetric lines and black and white contrasting soles.

PPR said the footwear range was developed with Puma‘s help and expertise.

The company bought the Volcom action sports apparel company last summer, and currently sells a limited collection of footwear including flip flops.
