The WIND AND SEA x SUBU FW25 collection offers winter-ready slippers by combining SUBU’s padded slip-on silhouette with WIND AND SEA’s signature branding and seasonal palette. The slippers arrive in colourways such as brown and black, feature the “SEA” logo stitched across the forefoot and include the SUBU insignia near the collar. The design retains the core construction of the slip-on, including velcro straps for adjustability and a padded upper for comfort during fall and winter applications. The drop date is scheduled for November 22.
The capsule emphasises house-style layering of practical design with bold identity, allowing both brands to appeal to their core audience while branching into winter-focused footwear. The release supports the idea that comfort and brand expression can coexist in an accessible, wearable form.
