Navy Combination, Beautifully Mottled Plum, and Casually Refined Grey



John Lobb's Isetan exclusives arrive in three colors: navy, plum, and grey. The standout is undoubtedly the navy combination, a world-first for the "William" model. This adds a fresh dimension to the ultra-classic design, creating a unique "William" that pairs perfectly with grey trousers.

John Lobb x Isetan "Wallace" (Plum) ¥168,000




The plum colorway utilizes plum museum calf, crafted with the intention of creating "the most elegant William in the world." While the other two pairs are E width, this plum version is D width, featuring a beautifully slender shape.

Furthermore, in pursuit of an elegant silhouette, the sole is made from a single piece of leather, designated as "Wallace." (Note: While the last is identical to "William," the model is named "Wallace" because "William" features a two-piece sole).

The grey leather is pewter museum calf, a subtly mottled cowhide. This design balances elegance with a touch of casualness, making it a perfect match for brown trousers.
