Sabah x Engineered Garments Releases Two New Versions of the Sabah Shoe
Sabah x Engineered Garments releases two updated versions of the handmade Sabah shoe in a collaboration that introduces new surface treatments to the original silhouette. The collection includes a perforated model with brogue-style detailing and a second model finished with evenly spaced metal studs across the upper. Both versions use black rubber outsoles, black stitching, and a black sole finish that differs from previous Sabah releases. The shoes maintain the traditional slip-on form that characterizes the brand’s core line while adding construction details associated with English footwear.
Each pair is produced with leather uppers that are cut and assembled using Sabah’s standard handcraft process. The collaboration was directed by Engineered Garments designer Daiki Suzuki. Retail pricing is set at two hundred seventy dollars for the studded version and two hundred forty dollars for the perforated version. Distribution will take place through Sabah stores and select retail partners.
