NN.07 works in collaboration with footwear manufacturer Sebago on an elevated iteration of the classic Docksides Portland boat shoe. The silhouette is inspired by the coastal style of Portland, Maine. It also draws influence from the city's boating heritage with vintage styles integrated with the Scandinavian elegance of NN.07. T
he model is reimagined with clean white leather uppers with embossed accents of a subtle crocodile texture. The functional design also features a water-resistant finish with moisture protection to protect the premium cow leather. It all rests on anti-slip rubber soles for a strong grip. The same soft cream color at the upper continues to the rubber sole unit as well. It has a small blue contrast with the woven wordmark labels.
