DWELLER LOAFER COW LEATHER WITH GORE-TEX

REGAL Shoe & Co. and nonnative release the DWELLER LOAFER COW LEATHER WITH GORE-TEX on 24 October: a U-tip loafer with a waterproof membrane, built to be worn in wet weather without looking like a rain shoe.

This is the second time the two have worked together. Their first collaboration came out in July 2025. REGAL Shoe & Co. is the Japanese shoemaker's younger line, which has been working with a run of Japanese labels in recent seasons, including BEDWIN & THE HEART BREAKERS, NEIGHBORHOOD, F/CE. and nanamica. nonnative is a Tokyo clothing label with its own shop in Aoyama-dai, Meguro.

The base is a loafer from the REGAL range that has never been sold in Japan. The collaboration tones down its casual side and leans towards a dress-shoe mood, with a smart U-tip front. GORE-TEX adds a waterproof function inside.

The sole is new for this project: a Vibram New Flex sole replaces the one used before. For the uppers, the two brands return to the materials of the 2025 release, black smooth leather and cola brown suede. Each colour therefore carries its own texture, smooth leather on one side and suede on the other.

The loafer costs 49,500 yen, tax included. It is sold at the nonnative shop in Meguro, at COVERCHORD, at authorised nonnative stockists, and at REGAL Shoe & Co. stores and its online store, where the sale starts at 11:00 on 24 October.
