Sneakers are usually the standards of collaboration models, but the rise in popularity of slip-ons and mules have proven that there is a demand for the silhouettes, making them an alternative choice for upcoming collaborations. Taking that approach would none other be END. and Japanese footwear label SUBU.

Marking the first collaboration between the duo, the collection draws inspiration from military liners for SUBU’s signature Winter Slipper. Dubbed “Surplus Quilting”, a color palette consisting of hues of brown, khaki and orange which are mainly found on classic military fabrics are featured in the lineup.

Embroidered eyelets and tie laces adds a detail-oriented approach while co-branded insoles identify the collaboration. Each pair also comes in a matching quilted bespoke tie bag for easy carry while traveling.

Set to release on 29th October, the END. x SUBU “Surplus Quilting” collection will be made available via END. through a raffle draw for a retail price of $70.
