The Higgins is the base foundation of the latest design, which was a boating shoe originally released back in 1978 by Padmore & Barnes. It retains its [moccasin-like shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dockside-portland) as the trio draw inspiration from Anglozine's seasonal capsule and all of their shared admiration of cinema, jazz, and mid-20th century style. The shoe is limited, as there are only 60 pairs that are created. It has a smooth sand upper made from [suede materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crockett-jones2) with added perforations at the vamp for a touch of breathability. It is also detailed with a bright orange suede by the back for tonal contrast.
