YMC x Padmore & Barnes A/W’16 Collection

For A/W’16 YMC collaborated with Padmore & Barnes for an exclusive capsule collection of classic footwear. Comprising of six iconic styles the collaboration perfectly compliments YMC’s distinctly British design ethos. YMC’s relationship with Padmore & Barnes goes right back to the brands inception in 1996. 20 years later, as part of their anniversary celebrations, the two brands have come together to revisit this unique partnership.

The hero style is undoubtedly the ‘Original’ Padmore & Barnes shoe and boot, an exclusive women’s style that has been out of production for 15 years. Available in black, burnt orange or oxblood each style comes in a classic suede finish. The ‘Natalie’ is another style which YMC have brought out of the archives; available exclusively for men. The Natalie is produced in conjunction with cult menswear retailer Oi Polloi and is available in black or dark brown colourways. The ‘One Piece’ is offered in classic laced design or as a monk strap, each version crafted from a single leather upper.
