BEAMS and Paraboot have joined forces to deliver an exclusive iteration of the classic Corsica. Serving as a hybrid silhouette, the collaborative model successfully merges the laid-back profile of a deck shoe with the refined structure of a traditional coin loafer.

Crafted in Spain, the upper takes on a bold, asymmetric “crazy pattern” design that BEAMS is renowned for bringing to its collaborative projects. The shoe meticulously incorporates three distinct textures of premium cow leather across its paneling: a pebbled grain finish, a glossy smooth leather, and a soft, textural suede. This deliberate material clash adds an elevated, tactile edge to the upper while ensuring the foundational leather remains supple enough for immediate comfort.

Down below, the traditional slim sole commonly associated with the model is swapped out for a robust rubber lug sole. This intentional design choice injects a sense of utilitarian volume to the sleek loafer profile, offering improved stability and a contemporary stance that pairs effortlessly with relaxed fits and wider trousers. Highlighting its versatility, the reimagined footwear arrives in two distinct, classic colorways—an understated all-black rendition and a rich, earthy brown option.
