Founded in 1876, G.H. Bass is a prime example of American footwear heritage. Based in Maine, the shoemaking company has become known for its unmatched quality, craftsmanship, and premium materials. Throughout its history, the company has delivered sophisticated, elevated hits that continue to shape its legacy today. One of these designs, the Weejuns Loafers, has been a staple in men’s closets since its 1930 debut.
While it’s impossible to imagine G.H.Bass losing its mark as a sophisticated staple, the brand is modernizing its lineup with the help of Reigning Champ. With Reigning Champs’ athletic-inspired touch on menswear, G.H. Bass is redefining its iconic loafer design to fit the times. Despite their contrasting design approaches, G.H. Bass and Reigning Champ share a focus on craftsmanship, making this collaboration more about quality than design.
A new look for an old G.H. Bass favorite
G.H. Bass x Reigning Champ Hand Sewn Larson Weejuns Loafer isn’t just about a new footwear collaboration; it’s about the evolution of timeless silhouettes. Crafted from Horween pebbled leather, this collaboration uses the same material as official NBA basketballs, tying the classic back to sports in seamless fashion.
Arriving in two colorways, the collaborative Weejuns Loafer offers the same a slightly varied experience in each but with the same elegant tone. An all-black version stuns in pebbled leather, while a black-and-white iteration offers a sophisticated statement contrast for any sharp dresser. Both styles feature a debossed leather outsole hand-painted in white lacquer. Priced at $245 and $275, respectively, both designs are available via Ghbass.com, Reigningchamp.com, and select retailers.
