On October 15, 2026, the first UGG x JW Anderson collection arrives. Jonathan Anderson gives two familiar UGG silhouettes, the Classic Boot and the Tasman, the rounded toe and stitching of a penny loafer.
The result of UGG x JW Anderson: the Loafer and the Loafer Boot.
It is the first collaboration between the two brands. For Anderson, the loafer is no random choice: his label has been known for idiosyncratic loafers for years, such as the Chain Loafer.
Sneaker fans also know him from his projects with Converse and UNIQLO.
The idea is simple, yet surprising. Anderson leaves the proportions of the original models largely intact and adds box-stitching and a rounded toe, the signature loafer silhouette of his own label.
That brings familiar UGG materials together with a shape you would normally see on dress shoes. The campaign image on UGG's European site shows a pair in suede with a sheepskin lining.
Colours picked by Anderson
Anderson personally selected the colorways: Khaki, Orange and Chestnut. Orange in particular stands out next to UGG's usual earthy palette.
Chestnut feels familiar. Khaki sits somewhere in between. As a result, the collection looks less understated than you might expect from UGG. Both models are unisex.
The UGG x JW Anderson campaign features musician Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) in domestic scenes, from getting dressed to an ordinary day at home.
Anderson styled the images himself. That suits shoes you can wear just as easily indoors as outside.

The release follows on Thursday, October 15, at 04:00 CEST via the websites of UGG and JW Anderson, and in selected stores.
