London-Inspired Footwear Capsule

Duke + Dexter Presents the Way Out West Collection

— October 2, 2023 — Fashion
London-based footwear imprint Duke + Dexter turns their attention to their own roots in the latest capsule dubbed Way Out West. The brand celebrates the bustling city of London and its rich creative culture with a slew of classic silhouettes. This includes the Wilde Penny Loafer that is adorned with a slew of earthy tones including brown shades making up the foundation with raised stitching for a textural contrast along the upper.

It is also detailed with a Croc detailing for more texture. This is joined by two new silhouettes for the brand in the form of the Moby and the Mule. The Moby has a crimped upper rubberized crepe sole unit and Italian leather lining. The Mule is made with a more durable design with thick shearling and cork footbed.
