The worlds of functional utility and heritage aesthetics collide as POTR teams up with SUBU for a unique footwear release that bridges the gap between ancient inspiration and modern engineering. Drawing from the silhouette of traditional Native American moccasins, this collaboration reimagines the classic one-piece leather construction through a contemporary lens.

Comfort remains paramount, as the pair utilizes SUBU’s signature four-layer insole to provide a cushioned, wrapped fit.
