Universal Works and Novesta Reunite For SS22 Collaboration
Hand-drawn patterns decorate classic silhouettes.




Fresh from the release of its Spring/Summer 2022 collection, Nottingham-based label Universal Works has unveiled its latest collaborative release alongside Slovakian footwear aficionado Novesta.
Uniting for the eighth time in as many years, the duo have opted for relaxed hand-drawn camo-style patterns — created by Universal Works co-founder David Keyte — as decoration on Novesta’s archetypal Star Master and Star Dribble silhouettes.
Delivering each colorway using no less than three tones, each iteration is underpinned by Universal Works’ ever-present message of “peace, love and sole”, while the words “Federation of Universal Works” can be found subtly-printed at the sneaker’s rear.
Sat atop Novesta’s unmistakable vulcanised rubber soles, pairs arrive in either “Sand” or “Ecru” and are available to buy now from the Universal Works webstore, retailing at £85 (approx. £110 USD) for the Star Master and £90 (approx. $115 USD) for the Star Dribble.
In other news, Novesta recently released its mainline SS22 collection.
