Fred Perry has linked up with Irish footwear brand Padmore & Barnes for a collaborative three-piece release on the latter’s iconic Willow silhouette.

First developed in the 1960s, Padmore & Barnes’ Willow has been produced using fine quality suedes and leathers with a hand-stitched finish they’ve since become renowned for.

These modern day interpretations have been reimagined in velour Italian suede. Featuring double stitching on the upper and an instantly recognisable crepe sole unit, the shoes are finished with the Fred Perry Laurel Wreath on the heel tab.

There are two low silhouette options and a mid-version, all offered in classic rich colors. Priced from £140 GBP (approximately $170 USD) each shoe is available now from the Fred Perry web store.

In related news, Dr. Maretens has released a 1460 boot in honour of Pride month.
