Two editions are available: Signature Wobbly Waffle, combining naturally brown homegrown cotton with indigo-dyed yarn, and Signature Indigo Handloom, constructed from [handwoven fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general-82-3) dyed in fermented indigo vats using locally grown plants. Variations in color and texture reflect the handmade production process, making each pair unique. The collaboration combines PF Flyers' [heritage canvas footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack) with Story mfg.'s focus on small-batch craftsmanship and natural dyeing techniques. Both versions retain the classic high-top silhouette while replacing conventional canvas with woven textiles rarely used in footwear manufacturing due to their slow production methods and irregular character. The release also includes custom packaging featuring a Story mfg. designed box, branded tissue paper, and a cream dust bag. The PF Flyers x Story mfg. All-American High-Top launches online on August 10. Image Credit: story mfg.
