There’s a new way to wear head-to-toe denim.
On Thursday, heritage denim brand Lee and luxury footwear brand Oliver Cabell unveiled a capsule collection of high-end leather and denim sneakers for men and women.
The “Made in Italy” sneakers appeal to both classic and modern style. The lace-up kicks combine hand-distressed Italian denim and 3 oz. full grain calfskin leather uppers with clear Italian Margom outsoles. Soft leather interiors and a cushioned insole deliver comfort.
The sneakers are available in two colorways: white leather with light wash denim and navy leather with dark wash denim.
“Partnering with Lee allows us to push the boundaries of luxury footwear to create something truly unique for our customers. By combining our innovative shoemaking with Lee’s iconic legacy, this collection is a testament to our shared commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless design,” said Scott Gabrielson, founder of Oliver Cabell.
The Lee x Oliver Cabell sneakers retail for $269. They will be available on Lee.com and owned stores in the U.S. as well as on Oliver Cabell’s U.S. and European websites.
“Oliver Cabell is known for crafting timeless and versatile footwear, which pairs perfectly with Lee’s denim,” said Barb Robinson, global collaborations manager for Lee, adding that nothing goes better with jeans and a pair of sneakers.
This is Lee’s second footwear collaboration this year. In June, Lee teamed with Crocs Inc.-owned Heydude to launch men’s and women’s footwear and matching apparel.
