NEIGHBORHOOD has teamed up with Japanese footwear brand REGAL Shoe & Co. to create a stylish yet highly functional loafer. This special edition is inspired by REGAL’s classic “Saddle Shoe Last” model but comes packed with modern technical upgrades.
The shoe features a mix of smooth and full-grain leather, giving it a unique texture. NEIGHBORHOOD’s logo is engraved on one side, while REGAL’s branding appears on the other. The interior is lined with GORE-TEX, making the shoe water-resistant and highly durable.
For comfort and grip, the loafer has a Vibram NewFlex sole and Ortholite cushioning. It also uses Goodyear welt construction, meaning the sole can be replaced over time, extending the shoe’s lifespan. A bronze coin is placed in the saddle slit as a traditional touch.
This release follows the trend of hybrid loafers, combining classic styles with modern performance features—similar to New Balance’s 1906L and Converse’s Coupe GB Loafer.
The NEIGHBORHOOD x REGAL Shoe & Co. loafers will launch on March 15, 2025, for $624 USD via the NEIGHBORHOOD web store.
