JW Anderson works together with rain boot imprint Wellipets on a new Frog Clog design that is inspired by the amphibian. The two deliver the quirky shoe in the form of a slip-on and it was unveiled during the designer's Fall/Winter 2023 menswear presentation.
It is ready to hit retail locations and boasts a slightly nostalgic moment due to the playful angle of the design. The shoes are made from waterproof materials and highlight the bulging eyes of a frog at the front of the boots along with hand-painted details that create the mouth. The insoles are notably removable and complete with Italian suede leather. It comes in three colorway options of green, yellow, and blue.
