This HUF x G.H. Bass loafer changes color the more you wear it

HUF and G.H. Bass unveil their newest 'chameleon' loafer

While on the surface, HUF and G.H. Bass may not have much in common, the truth is that both brands are dedicated to providing users with quality construction and premium materials. Now, the two brands are joining forces for their first collaboration, blending a modern style with a classic silhouette that’ll never go out of style. Taking on the Larson Penny Loafer, HUF and G.H. Bass bring their individual touches to a timeless shoe that is more than just another footwear collaboration. Offering a new generation with a chance to expand their footwear rotation with a sophisticated shoe that still adds fashion and statement to their looks. Although many collaborations take apart the model for a brand new look, this design takes on the original style and makes it even better. 

HUF and G.H. Bass bring modern style to the classic loafer

Although any collaboration that joins HUF and G.H. Bass is bound to make a statement, it’s the design’s leather material that manages to steal the spotlight. Crafted from a unique “chameleon” leather produced specifically for G.H. Bass in El Salvador, the loafer’s color shifts from a rich black to a decadent dark green over time. Made with a green underlayer, constant usage will slowly reveal the green coloring, making it a patina that you’ll be proud to showcase. The green element is incorporated throughout the design, both in the interior and insoles. Along with the leather, the patina is also applied to two sets of HUF “transit” coins in classic gold and HUF green. Along with the loafers, users will also receive a custom-branded shoe horn. Retailing for $264, the HUF x G.H. Bass Larson Penny Loafer is available now via HUF’s webstore.

The Le Locle-based maison has added two new interpretations of its DEFY Extreme: the Ultraviolet and the Lapis Lazuli II.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason.

With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.
