Seventh Heaven and Suicoke work in collaboration to design two pairs of updated winter footwear silhouettes for the Fall/Winter 2020 season. The shoes were originally teased in a lookbook by the former brand as it unveiled its seasonal offerings. The shoes take the classic Bower and Pepper models from Suicoke as the base foundation. It features styles and headline aesthetics that reference religious excerpts.
This includes the words “REAP WHAT YOU SOW” and “OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.” The shoes are offered in two colorway options of either dark navy blue or brown. They are constructed from a technical eVent material that delivers both breathability and waterproof sensibilities. The silhouettes are also lightweight due to the 3M synthetic fleece that offers heat and comfort.
