Hush Puppies is releasing an Elvis Presley-inspired collection in celebration of the new Warner Bros. Pictures biopic 'Elvis,' which released Jun 24, 2022. The release spotlights two oxford and loafer-style shoes, which adopt a black and white color palette for the ‘Classic Showtime’ colorway. Other color selections include ‘Hawaiian Sunset’ and ‘Classic Blue Suede,’ which come in unisex sizing and will be produced in limited quantities. The vintage shoe pays homage to the footwear trends from the 1950s, providing a timeless and classic silhouette that can be paired with most outfits.
"Elvis embodied this casual cool, and we are thrilled to bring his bold style back with a specially crafted collection of footwear in celebration of the launch of Warner Bros. Pictures’ epic big screen drama, Elvis, from filmmaker Baz Luhrmann," said Brett Parent, VP of Marketing and eCommerce for Hush Puppies.
