JW Anderson unveils its new collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2023 season highlighted by the new Padlock Ankle Boots. The shoes are now available to shop online and Jonathan Anderson explains that "we shouldn't be scared of subversion" when describing the latest seasonal range.
The shoe made its first appearance to the public in Milan, pushing the concept of abnormality. Anderson himself explains that "It’s working with tensions; this idea that the bag becomes the shoe, the shoe becomes the bag." The Padlock Ankle Boot is made from full-grain calf leather materials throughout the exterior and the interior is lined with premium split-grain sheep leather. It is enclosed with leather straps detailed ith silver tonal metal.
