British footwear imprint DUKE + DEXTER introduces its latest drop for the mid-summer season with the new Bowls Club capsule. The new footwear designs that join the brand's roster include the skate shoe crafted from leather materials in an ecru colorway and marked with contrasting hues of grey.
It also has a perforated overlay applied with leather to add a premium touch of breathbility. This is followed by a white tonal pair of runners that are made from suede materials for a soft look. It has a contrasting mesh toe box section and mesh inlays in the same placement before it is rounded out by the tan tonal gum outsole units. The rest of the range also includes apparel such as knitwear, vests, and denim.
