# Heritage Collab Streetwear Designs The Burwood Shoe is Reworked for the Special Events Brogue By Amy Duong | Published 2022-03-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burwood References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/3/off-white-churchs-burwood-virgil-abloh-brogue-special-events) Premium streetwear imprint [Off-White](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller) works in collaboration with heritage British shoemaker [Church's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churchs-x-miu-miu) to showcase the Burwood silhouette once again. The shoe was originally designed by the late Virgil Abloh when it made its inaugural appearance during the Spaceship Earth: an Imaginary Experience show during Paris Fashion Week. The shoe itself is essentially a classic full brogue Oxford shoe with an elevated twist that is presented by the black brushed calfskin in place of the brown suede usually. On the lateral side of the shoe are the words 'Special Events' that are screen-printed in a white print for a touch of contrast. Rounding out the design is the iconic [Off-White hangtag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offwhite-co-wilson) on the forefoot section in green.
