UGG x JW Anderson in NYC: Classic Boot and Tasman Rebuilt as Loafers, Boot at $400

JW Anderson, the label led by Jonathan Anderson, and UGG have teamed up to reinterpret two of UGG's best-known silhouettes: the Classic Boot and the Tasman. The starting point is JW Anderson's distinctive loafer design, which gives the familiar shearling footwear a more tailored look.

The collection has two styles, the Loafer Boot and the Loafer. Both introduce rounded toes and the label's signature box-stitching, while keeping the comfort of UGG's signature materials and cushioning.

The official product photos show the details. On the boot, a penny-loafer-style strap runs across the forefoot, picked out with white stitching, and the heel carries both UGG and JWANDERSON labels. The Loafer is a backless slip-on with cream shearling visible inside, the same strap and stitching on top, and a caramel-coloured sole like the boot's.

Each style comes in three colours: military green, chestnut and tangerine. Together they make up a six-piece collection.

On JW Anderson's US site, each Loafer Boot is priced at $400. The Loafer is listed as sold out in all three colours, so the boot is the style currently shown with a price.

JW Anderson lists the UGG project alongside its other collaborations, which include Wedgwood, Mouseman, Nicholas Mosse and Guinness. For anyone in New York looking for a cold-weather boot or slip-on that borrows from the loafer, this is a new option from a designer known for reworking everyday objects.
