Padmore & Barnes - Collaborations

18 East

of the renowned Irish footwear maker producing an entirely new silhouette for a collaborative partner.

Built in Portugal on a rugged, all-weather Vibram Bifida sole, the Oakledge features an Italian suede upper with a padded Cordura collar and tongue, antique silver speed lace loops, dual branded orange leather insoles and our “Hands” woven label subtly placed on the backside of the tongue.
