Stüssy and Dr. Martens work in partnership once again, as the two reveal its latest collection of Penton Loafers. The two streetwear labels drop the footwear for the Summer 2018 season, creating its own iteration of the iconic Penton loafers. It is offered in a series of versatile hues including 'Oxblood,' black, white and black, and green. The model remains traditional to Dr. Martens with its signature yellow stitching detail finished on all colorway options along with a sturdy Goodyear welt sole.
The uppers are constructed fully from suede and leather materials to ensure both comfort and durability. The collaborative Stüssy and Dr. Martens Penton Loafers will be available beginning June 29 online, at Dover Street Market London and Chapter stores.
