An elastic back equipped with a leather pull tab makes the loafers easy to slip on and off, while a square toe finish up front makes sure these stand-out from the crowd.Sat atop a sturdy rubber sole, Dries Van Noten’s “Chocolate” Padded Loafers are available to buy now from Voo Store Berlin, retailing at $646 USD.

Swiss running brand, On has unveiled the third iteration of its performance-focused Cloud Hi Edge sneaker range.Merging functionality and lifestyle, the brand has updated its signature CloudTec outsole for a better and more responsive hold and possesses the same geometry, rubber grip and enhanced traction pattern as its best-selling marathon sneaker, the Cloudboom. To provide added cushioning, the fast-acting Speedboard and ultralight Helion super foam midsole technologies are tailored to work in unison. The latter acts as a coiled spring whilst the Cloud elements are built to compress to reduce the impact on every stride.With 70% crafted from recycled polyester, the re-engineered mesh upper not only gives an aesthetically streamlined look but also offers breathable comfort. The revamped heel cap has evolved for a precise fit, providing protection around tight corners as well as its new elasticated LoopLock lace system on the tongue which helps keep laces out of the way whilst running.The latest iteration arrives in a versatile “Jungle Forest” colorway and sees splashes of pastel pink on its accents for added unique character.For more information and to shop the new On Cloud Hi Edge sneaker be sure to visit the brand’s website.
