Heritage footwear brand Dr. Scholl’s Shoes, a Caleres brand and California-based denim brand RE/DONE come together this Spring to launch a limited-edition footwear capsule collection. Furthering their ethos of taking the old and making it new again, RE/DONE responsibly reimagines Dr. Scholl’s Shoes’ iconic Original Sandal in five all-new colorways.
On a never-ending search for the most nostalgic heritage references, RE/DONE fell in love with the Original Sandal, a style that has stood the test of time. In true collaboration, the brands made thoughtful modifications from slightly higher heels and squared toe shapes to redeveloped vintage hardware and thicker leather toe straps. Color variations include black and red patent leather with lacquered wood, classic neutral-toned leather, and denim made from RE/DONE’s upcycled denim scraps.
With shared mindfulness, the collection is consciously crafted. Each shoe features a handmade artisanal wood clog sole made from natural beechwood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the leather used is responsibly sourced through Leather Working Group-audited factories.
Together, RE/DONE x Dr. Scholl’s used their shared expertise to create the perfect vintage-inspired sandal.
“Working with RE/DONE on this collection is an inspired partnership,” said Katie Moore, senior director of design at Caleres. “Our shared commitment to creating an eco-conscious style for all and paying homage to iconic fashion brought so much creativity and vision to the design process. Our signature wood sole, made with FSC-certified wood, paired with RE/DONE’s mindful vintage-inspired materials celebrate the best of heritage fashion.”
“Collaborating with heritage brands to recreate the classics is at the core of what RE/DONE does, so our partnership with Dr. Scholl’s felt like a no-brainer,” said Sean Barron, CEO and founder of RE/DONE. “The initial concept was born when we found a vintage pair of their sandals that had the most incredible construction and details. We didn’t want to just make a reproduction—we wanted to marry the old-school features of our vintage pair with a more modern, square-toed silhouette. There’s something so special about reimagining a shoe almost everybody has a relationship with, and I couldn’t be more excited about the result.”
RE/DONE x Dr. Scholl’s Shoe retail for $295 and will be available starting March 7 at all RE/DONE retail stores worldwide, select premium stockists, and both brands’ digital flagships: www.drschollsshoes.com, www.shopredone.com and www.net-a-porter.com.
