Bee Line, the sort-of sublabel of Pharrell‘s Billionaire Boys Club, has solely operated through collaborations with Timberland over the past several years. This week, it’ll expand a bit further into footwear through a collaboration with the streetwear-savvy loafer maker Blackstock & Weber.
Continuing B&W’s trend of bold and often unexpected footwear, the Bee Line Mason Horse Bit Loafer features a highly textured hairy Rough Mohawk Suede from Charles F. Stead along with a Vibram 1249 Mister Tank sole with the appearance of Terrazzo flooring. Bee line’s signature yellow forms the heel in leather, with the color repeating for the suede interior lining. Gold-tone hardware then matches the mismatched, dual-branded insoles.
In a spicy bit of copywriting, the product page for the loafers says, “You can throw away your Timbs.. we teamed up with Billionaire Boys Club’s “Bee Line” to release the only shoe you’ll need this Fall/Winter.”
In addition to the loafers, Bee Line and B&W have made an apparel collection consisting of a varsity jacket, wool shirt jacket, cargo pants, hoodie, and pocket tee.
As is standard for Blackstock & Weber, the loafers were handmade in Portugal. The brand recommends men to go one size down from what they would normally wear, as the leather will stretch and the ability to wear sockless is paramount.
The full Bee Line x Blackstock & Weber collection is slated to release Friday, Oct. 6, through two brands’ websites, as well as the BBC Ice Cream flagships in New York City and Miami. Pricing for the loafers is set at $395.
