Vivienne Westwood just dropped two new shoe designs as part of the COMBAT BUCKLE series for Fall/Winter 2022.

Aligning with the brand’s roots in punk culture, the new designs are inspired by the overall aesthetics of fetish leatherwear and biker fashion. The new drop consists of the COMBAT BUCKLE BOOTS and COMBAT BUCKLE SHOES, both fitted with track soles for a toughed-up feel, and embellished with metal eyelets and studs.

Retailing at ¥137,500 JPY (approximately $918 USD), the COMBAT BUCKLE BOOTS come in a low-heel and lace-up biker boot silhouette. While the COMBAT BUCKLE SHOES, available for ¥128,700 JPY (approximately $859 USD) comes in a loafer silhouette with a punk twist. Both items are part of the season’s “WILD BEAUTY” theme and are available now at selected Vivienne Westwood stores.
