In keeping with the brand's [progressive design philosophy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ader-error-tokyo-space), the new capsule bends traditional categories and combines forms to offer a range of [experimental, fashion-forward kicks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oao-les-arcs). Glossy wingtip Derbys are presented in a deep, navy leather and given ADER error's 'BURNING SHOES' glaze treatment -- a unique material that wears away as time passes, giving each shoe a unique patina. The same derby model appears in a variety of other colors and materials, including brown leather and black suede. Elsewhere, the collection boasts a pair of [asymmetrical loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24-loafer) in blue and high-gloss black finishes.
