Universal Works x Sebago Portland Suede Shoes

Seen here in a dark brown colourway, these Universal Works x Sebago Portland Suede Shoes have a collaborative design that has been inspired by traditional moccasin footwear combined with the proportions of bowling shoes from the ‘50s and ‘60s. The low-cut silhouette has been constructed from high quality suede and around the front of the toes decorative hand stitching adds an attractive detail that can be seen again on the back of the heel. The leather laces are held in place by non-corrosive eyelets and a removable tassel detail sits below which can be interchanged to your liking. Around the edge of the ankle border, an elongated lace detail brings additional character to the shoe and a woven label wraps around the top of the tongue showing different Universal Works and Sebago branding across either shoe. Within the shoe, a soft insole with a decorative surface pattern ensures daily comfort whilst a wavered tread pattern underfoot provides reliable grip.

Designed with a vision to bring a more modern, contemporary look and feel to a traditional shoe, these Portland Suede Shoes boast a combination of style from London based menswear label Universal Works and premium craftsmanship that has been practised by Sebago for over 70 years. Known for their iconic Penny Loafers and Native-American inspired moccasins, Sebago is based in Michigan and remains sought after for those seeking high quality footwear that stands the test of time. Similarly, Universal Works offers refined workwear inspired designs that have been adapted to suit everyday wear with a touch of British grit.
