Shoes 53045 introduces its latest footwear design in the form of the Loaf’Air and it boasts many different design elements. Notably, it draws inspiration from the traditional loafer and can be seen throughout the entire uppers in the structure and details.
The silhouette is progressive as it sits on top of a chunky air sole unit as the foundation with the penny loafer as the uppers. The bold unit fuses together two elements -- one of which is full-length air bubble lined with a clear black. The second is a thick outsole that nods to utilitarian aesthetics with a gripped bottom and a rugged design. To round out the entire design is the printed branding on the sock liner in white as a nod to the loafer influence.
