The British footwear brand continues to work towards a more experimental design lately and this latest shoe is named after one of the brand's earliest factories. It is part of the 8th St collection that is made alongside [KITH's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-sneaker) Ronnie Fieg and uses top-grade perforated Oxblood suede materials. It is also detailed with more perforations along the heel in order to channel a retro theme. The shoes are packed together with a Glastonbury Tor print-on sock and is rounded out by a natural rubber crepe with an EVA sole unit.
