This Autumn, SOREL announces the launch of its exclusive footwear collaboration with Proenza Schouler.
The heritage footwear brand and luxury fashion house are launching a limited edition footwear collaboration for fall, with the SOREL x Proenza Schouler Caribou Mule and SOREL x Proenza Schouler Caribou Chelsea Boot debuted at the Proenza Schouler Spring Summer 2025 New York Fashion Week show.
“This collaboration beautifully merges Proenza Schouler’s confident design language with our authentic SOREL heritage,” said Cory Long, President of the Portland-based brand. “For SOREL, a trusted standard in elevated outdoor footwear since 1962, it’s been thrilling to see our iconic Caribou silhouette translated into two runway-worthy styles. Our shared appreciation for refined craftsmanship just made it work really well. The collection tells a story for both brands, and that’s ultimately what it’s all about.”
The SOREL x Proenza Schouler collaboration translates the function of the classic Caribou into an elevated, everyday pair of styles that can be worn around the city. The designs are crafted from a sleek leather in a palette of black, ochre and ecru. Each shoe features signature Proenza Schouler heavy contrast stitch for detailing, with a custom back logo tab.
“We are excited to be partnering with SOREL to create the perfect all-weather footwear collaboration that merges Proenza Schouler brand codes with SOREL’s extraordinary heritage and sophisticated technical craftsmanship. We expanded on SOREL’s classic Caribou structure and aimed at urbanizing it by polishing it and stripping it back while respecting and preserving its highly functional qualities. We are delighted with the results which feel completely authentic to both brands.” – Jack McCollough + Lazaro Hernandez, Founders and Creative Directors of Proenza Schouler.
The collaboration will be available for purchase starting October 22, 2024, on Net-A-Porter and www.sorelfootwear.co.uk. A campaign shot by photographer Zoë Ghertner will be released to coincide with the launch.
