Copenhagen-based label GANNI has unveiled their latest footwear project this week, rejoining forces with New Balance for a special release. This time, they’re bringing a snakeskin & patent leather combo to the divisive 1906L silhouette.
Ganni started in Copenhagen in 2000, originally making cashmere under Frans Truelsen. In 2009, Ditte and Nicolaj Reffstrup took over and turned it into a full-on ready-to-wear label that’s colorful, playful, and distinct from the typical Scandi minimalism. Ganni blends bold prints, vibrant patterns, and feminine silhouettes with relaxed tailoring, making clothes you actually want to live in. In 2022, the Danish brand struck up a relationship with New Balance, applying their unique aesthetics to the Boston brand’s iconic sneakers.
This week, GANNI and New Balance unveiled their latest project. The two have joined forces to cook up a special release of the 1906L, the loafer variant of the 1906 runner they released two styles of in 2023. The loafer version has been a divisive silhouette since its introduction, but appears to be making quite the impression in fashionable circles. GANNI’s take brings a brown snakeskin pattern to the shoe’s tongue panels, paired with a black mesh underlay for the rest of the upper. The many overlay panels come in a mix of silver and lack patent leather. Jeweled NB logos at the center of the foot complete the look.
