Solider works in collaboration alongside British footwear brand Duke + Dexter on a new Wilde Penny Loafer design. The artist and British imprint merge their heads to highlight a uniquely bright cotton canvas material that makes up the upper in place of the traditional vamp.
The latest update is made by hand and complete with a custom rubberized crepe sole unit for a durable feel. The lining is entirely crafted from leather and then detailed with exposed stitching on top of a white tone. The aforementioned canvas created by Solider sits over the smooth upper and is then detailed with a custom strap. To round out the look, there are Duke + Dexter's branding details that rest on the white insole.
