Comme des Garçons bookish sensibility is heightened with these brown loafers, which are set atop Dr Martens’s signature grooved-rubber soles – the labels have collaborated for over a decade. Crafted in Japan from smooth leather, they have an apron-stitched vamp with a traditional penny bar and are hallmarked by yellow stitching at the Goodyear-welted midsole.
It’s said that the Comme Des Garçons offshoot is inspired by what designer, Rei Kawakubo likes to wear herself. A pared-back capsule of everyday tailoring and knitwear is elevated by idiosyncratic silhouettes and detailing, for a collection that’s timeless yet contemporary.
