The moc toe looks familiar, but the woven leather running along the sides takes Josh Brubaker’s latest shoe somewhere else. His FILMSUEDE F-6796 borrows its shape from the Clarks Wallabee, then works in the curved weaving seen on the Nike Air Footscape Woven.

Brubaker uses black leather throughout the upper, keeping the material consistent across the moc-toe construction and woven panels. The weaving follows a sweeping path around the sides, bringing a recognizable Footscape detail to the Wallabee-style silhouette.

Mixing familiar footwear references has been part of Brubaker’s work for a while. His other independent designs have drawn from the Margiela Future, German Army Trainer, and Nike Air Terra Humara. He recently took FILMSUEDE to ComplexCon, where the label offered an exclusive release.

Brubaker is still making adjustments to the FILMSUEDE F-6796, with a limited release expected through filmsuede.com once it’s finished. A release date has yet to be announced.
