J.Crew recently teamed up with SeaVees to produce a line of sleek wool sneakers for fall. Although sneakers are not the warmest type of footwear, these shoes are designed to keep feet cozy in cooler temperatures.
The capsule collection features a series of stylish sneakers in gorgeous fall colors such as grey, olive and white. The design of the shoe is minimalist with a simple lace-up tongue. The chic wool sneakers draw inspiration from the classic street styles of the 1960s which is when the brand was originally founded. More specifically, the shoes reference the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967 and the beginning of the counterculture movement.
Beyond the luxurious Italian wool, customers can also order the stylish sneakers in oiled calf suede or smooth tumbled leather.
