Footwear label Hush Puppies looks back to its own archives to bring forth the 'Power Walker' in a new and contemporary way. The brand reached back to over 60 years of design to re-launch the footwear model, which are created to be worn by health-centric geriatrics and are also adorned by sardonic art students.
The brand reissues the revival to highlight its own trusted construction makeup to a new generation of consumers. The overall structure is a bulky silhouette, giving the option of two enclosure systems of either a velcro selection or a laced system. Hush Puppies elevates the overall design to fit modern appreciation by adorning bright colorways in white, pastel pink, pastel blue, and a darker blue as well.
