Fred Perry and heritage footwear imprint G.H. Bass introduce a new iteration of the classic penny loafer silhouette. This marks the third time that the two are working alongside one another. This time around, it delivers the classic shoe along with a women's loafer silhouette to join the roster as well.
It is designed for the Spring/Summer season and it featured three different colorway options. It kicks off with a black leather iteration and then is followed by two nubuck constructed versions in a Bark colorway or a Sandstorm colorway. Additional details of the shoe include the rugged commando outsole foundation and the EVA rubber for a sturdy base. It also has a silver chain on top and a tartan-trimmed lining.
