Barbour teams up with Wild Bunch for new footwear collaboration

Barbour has joined forces with cult footwear brand Wild Bunch on three new footwear styles called ‘Southfield’, ‘Coatham’ and ‘Heathpool’ under the title of ‘Wildbunch Styles’.

Handcrafted in Spain, where Wild Bunch founder Neil Morris also produces his Veras and Gurus footwear brands, the limited run new collaboration styles come in Barbour’s traditional brown and green colour palette.

Barbour ‘Southfield’ is a four eyelet moccasin with a Vibram sole, available in three colourways, ‘Coatham’ is a twist on the Wild Bunch ‘Wally’ style in two colourways with a hiker sole, and ‘Heathpool’ again draws on the popular ‘Wally’ style but with a Vibram ‘Fitter’ sole unit for a more casual look.

Nicholas Drury, Head of Footwear at Barbour, said: "This is a new footwear collaboration that combines Barbour’s iconic heritage with their timeless craftsmanship, seamlessly blending rugged functionality with contemporary style.

"Produced in Southern Spain by artisan craftsmen, each pair of shoes boasts premium suede and leather uppers and durable Vibram soles."

Neil Morris, who also did a Wild Bunch collaboration with YMC back in 2020, added: "I’ve been living in North Yorkshire for about 12 years now, so not a million miles from Barbour’s South Shields HQ.

"Their Director of Menswear, Ian Bergin, has been a Wild Bunch customer for a while and I’ve always admired Barbour as a brand. So, it made sense to team up and put their spin on Wild Bunch under the ‘Wildbunch Styles’ name."

The collection is now available on the Barbour and Wild Bunch websites and through selected retailers, with each style priced at £229.
