New Balance is walking away from the “dad shoe” label—and doing it in style. Meet the Drake’s x New Balance Allerdale, a handsome walker that swaps mesh for menswear.

After three solo colorways, the Allerdale finally teams up—with none other than British tailoring royalty, Drake’s London. This collaboration brings serious countryside energy, blending earthy tones and textures like they’re layering up for tea with the Queen (or just a muddy walk in Flimby).

The upper features a mashup of brown and olive suede, tumbled leather, and a tongue with grid-like detail. It’s patchwork—but make it posh. Drake’s also adds red dotted laces, a playful nod to its rich history in tie-making.

The shoe is crafted in the UK and named after the Allerdale District, giving it that authentic made-in-Flimby touch. From the rugged black sole to the contrasting cream liner, this isn’t just a walking shoe—it’s a wardrobe upgrade.

Whether you’re strolling through Soho or strutting to your favorite pub, these kicks say, “I appreciate comfort, but also know what a pocket square is.”

The Drake’s x New Balance Allerdale drops June 27, 2025 for $270 USD. It will be available at select retailers and on NewBalance.com.

So lace up, step out, and bring a little Savile Row to your sneaker rotation.
