Deadly Ponies launches summer footwear capsule collection
Deadly Ponies creative director Liam Bowden has turned his attention to one timeless silhouette for the label’s first summer footwear capsule collection.
Available in two classic neutral colourways, black and nougat, the Gansu slide is handcrafted with a lamb leather upper and with textured bovine leather over a moulded rubber sole.
“We want to create footwear that will be wardrobe staples, that embody what Deadly Ponies are known for – sumptuous and sustainable leathers in unique yet classic designs,” says Liam.
For the Gansu Slide, three bands of lamb leather are wrapped around to create the twisted upper, playing with symmetry and providing comfort built for longevity.
A rubber heel detail is designed for extra grip, and embossed logos feature on both the sole and footbed, with all leather sourced from certified gold Leather Working Group partners.
Designed in-house and constructed with Deadly Ponies partner in Dongguan, China, the newest members of the Deadly Ponies stable are exemplars of the brand’s signature quality pieces – timeless, sustainable, and recognisably unique.
The Gansu Slide is on a limited run and is available online now and in all Deadly Ponies stores.
