Summary

  • POTR (by PORTER) has teamed up with SUBU for a limited footwear collaboration inspired by traditional Native American moccasins, set to release on December 19
  • Reimagining the classic one-piece leather silhouette, the sandals feature a lightweight population suede upper, SUBU’s signature four-layer cushioned insole, and decorative elements like fringes, embroidery, and beads
  • The pairs are distinguished by a vibrant turquoise footbed with a “smile” motif and include a removable heel belt for stability; each purchase comes with a water-repellent cotton ripstop tote bag

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.

The design features a population suede upper that is both lightweight and resistant to the elements, making it a practical choice for daily wear. Comfort remains paramount, as the pair utilizes SUBU’s signature four-layer insole to provide a cushioned, wrapped fit. Aesthetic details pay homage to cultural craftsmanship, including intricate fringes, embroidery, and beads. A vibrant turquoise footbed, a hallmark of the POTR brand, adds a playful pop of color and features a unique smile motif.

Designed for versatility, the sandals include a removable heel belt for added stability during outdoor excursions. Complementing the footwear is a water-repellent cotton ripstop tote bag, finished with a paraffin treatment for durability.

Check out the release above. This collection arrives December 19 at select PORTER stores and online platforms.
