Sportswear label Champion introduces a new collection of cozy slippers in time for the colder seasons as a warm element during the time. The footwear boasts the name 'University Slipper' and will be a part of the brand's Fall/Winter 2019 offerings.
The color palette highlights the hues of white, navy blue, red, and black with a design that draws inspiration from the brand's very own classic hoodies. The cozy footwear options are made for indoor wear but have a rubber outsole with rippled design as well. The options include an all-over print with the Champion logo or one with a large "C" at the toe area. Every pair is lined with fleece and has drawstring accents, rounded out with a kangaroo pouch at the toe.
