Contrast Stitching Formal Footwear

CamperLab Presents the New Eki Shoes for the Season

— October 20, 2022 — Fashion
Experimental brand CamperLab introduces a new look at the Eki shoes for the season that boasts dramatic and eccentric looks. The formal silhouette is detailed in a plethora of colors as it is rooted in a derby shape. Additional details include the asymmetrical cut due to the angular design of the shoes and contrasted by the oversized stitching details.

The upper is made from premium calfskin leather materials and also offers a softer side to the shoe in place of the heavy-duty walking shoe. It rests on top of a thick rubber sole unit and the insole is made from recycled Ortholite cushioning to offer sustainable efforts and provide comfort and support with every step.
