Cobra Wedge Venetian Pin
Woburn Walk × G.H. Bass
Woburn Walk, produced by Nepenthes London, has collaborated with G.H. Bass on a Venetian loafer. Founded in 1876, the American shoemaker marks its 150th anniversary this year.
The design is based on the Venetian loafer known as the Cobra Vamp, a style associated with the heyday of the Ivy League look. The polished leather upper has a higher vamp than the standard version, with a brass-finished safety pin passing through the leather.
The pin brings a reference to London youth culture and punk to an American traditional shoe. Underfoot, a Vibram Morflex wedge sole provides lightness, flexibility and cushioning.
