words // Darren Griffin:
If you’ve been paying attention, and we certainly hope you have, you probably noted Greats made an interesting choice in naming their coveted Slip-On silhouette. Dubbed the “Wooster,” the shoe of course bears its name from Nick Wooster – famed New York fashion purveyor and all around street style icon. With an unparalleled affinity for Slip-On’s, Wooster not only acts as the namesake for the shoe, but this season he helps design the signature model for the forthcoming Greats x Wooster x Lardini Slip-On Collection.
Deciding on two of Lardini’s classic textiles for this collaboration, Nick also saw fit to implement premium cotton canvas in olive and khaki tones alongside a classic black and white wool houndstooth palette. Each shoe rests atop a Margom outsole while branding can be found at the vegetable tan leather liner. The Greats x Wooster x Lardini Slip-On Collection is limited to 50 pairs per color for $280 and will be available on Monday, April 13th on Greats.
