HANON works in collaboration with Padmore and Barnes on a new iteration of the P205 Wallabee shoe. The moccasin style footwear is updated in a sleek new update. The base layer of the shoe sees a slew of rich materials to give it a premium look.
It includes a rich and soft buttery suede with premium tumbled leather for a textured look. The leather makes up most of the shoe at the side walls and the brown leather collars. The suede can be seen at the vamp as a textural contrast. It boasts a dark brown set of laces with the signature flame logo true to HANON on the heel tabs. All of this sits on top of a beige outsole foundation.
