British children's footwear brand, Young Soles, has partnered up with comic brand Peanuts in an all-new shoe collaboration.
The capsule collection will feature retro cartoon character Snoopy. Young Soles has taken its popular styles - the Rosie T-bar shoe and the Sidney brogue boot - and printed playful Snoopy images all over the shoe. Young Soles' ethos is about evoking childhood memories and found this partnership with Peanuts a natural business endeavor.
The Rosie T-bar shoe is available in black, chestnut brown or pink, and retails for 79 pounds. While the Sidney brogue boot is available in red, chestnut brown and black, and retails for 92 pounds. All Young Soles shoes are designed in East London and made in Portugal using sustainable methods.
