This season contemporary Nottingham born brand Universal Works have teamed up with Yogi, certified masters of the laidback moccasin, for a collaborative capsule heading into AW23. Featuring two versions of Yogi's chunky, ranger-style Finn moc, it's a collection built on shared ideas about style, comfort and craft, with an undercurrent of playful experimentation.
The capsule takes inspiration & design with the latest Universal Works collection in mind, intentionally echoing the cinematic mood set by their latest Autumn/Winter "Far from Memphis" collection. Echoing similar muted & earthy tones, the Moc Finn pairs up perfectly with the latest range of cardigans, knits & bombers this season from Universal Works.
With a shared love of craft, utility, and laid back style, Universal Works and Yogi are most definitely a natural fit for each other. The results of this partnership embody all the comfort, quality, and meticulous attention to detail you would expect from both parties, infused with a dash of playful rock 'n' roll and a cinematic twist.
Speaking on the collaboration, Universal Work's co-founding director David Keyte, a long-standing admirer of Yogi, said: "I have a genuine love of Yogi. They really do make something that can provide the comfort of a sneaker whilst fulfilling the need for a proper shoe. That's easier said than done, but Yogi always manages to pull it off.
The Yogi x Universal Works Finn III comes in two iterations of Cola Brown & Black/Khaki, both sporting an unlined premium suede and tumbled leather panelled upper & raw edge seam on a super comfortable leather footbed and EVA sole - made in Portugal.
