Renowned Japanese fashion label sacai and esteemed French fashion house J.M. Weston have joined forces to create an exclusive footwear collaboration for the upcoming fall-winter season. This highly anticipated partnership brings together the best of both worlds, combining sacai‘s bold and daring approach to fashion with J.M. Weston’s unparalleled expertise in traditional shoemaking.
Under the creative direction of Chitose Abe, sacai has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion since its inception in 1999. The label’s distinctive style, which seamlessly blends classic tailoring with a penchant for destructuring and streetwear elements, has garnered a loyal following among fashion enthusiasts worldwide. This Fall/Winter season, sacai continues to deliver a masterclass in style, as evidenced by its latest collaboration with J.M. Weston.
The exclusive collaboration between sacai and J.M. Weston results in two brand new shoe styles for men and women, each offering a unique blend of hybridity and elegance. The “Derby Golf” and “Worker” boots have been reimagined in a variety of materials, including leopard-print cowhide, black box, camel nubuck and black calfskin. Both models are expertly crafted in the Limoges factory and feature a leather sole with a specially designed rubber midsole.
One of the standout features of this collaboration is the bold, oversized sole that adorns the derby and ankle boots. This highly graphic design element is a hallmark of sacai’s signature style and adds an unexpected twist to traditional silhouettes. The result is a truly eye-catching footwear collection that pushes the boundaries of style and seamlessly blends modernity with heritage.
The sacai x J.M. Weston collaboration is set to launch on September 11, 2024 and will be available in select stores worldwide.
