The slip-on model is inspired by the classic Jack Purcell silhouette and sits at a low profile. It features details including the multi-cushioned sole unit at the base, giving it a slight platform and support. It also has the signature 'smiling' toe cap unit with a suede build at the upper for a soft look and feel. It is complete with U-shaped moccasin stitching which makes it look softer as well. In terms of the colorways, it comes in two options: navy blue and tan. The sneaker loafer is set to launch online and in-store on March 29th.
