Product Overview A standout footwear piece from the late era of the now-shuttered Raf Simons eponymous label. Featured prominently in the Spring/Summer 2022 collection, these derbies showcase Simons' signature approach to subverting classic menswear proportions with exaggerated, oversized shapes.
Key Design Elements
Bulbous Toe Silhouette: The defining feature is the dramatically oversized, rounded toe box. It warps the traditional formal shoe into a heavy, avant-garde, and slightly cartoonish profile.
Polished Leather: Constructed from smooth, high-shine premium black leather for a sleek, uniform finish.
Heavyweight Sole: Features a thick, extended sole unit and a block heel that adds substantial visual weight and height to the wearer.
Minimalist Upper: Kept relatively simple with a clean, traditional derby lace-up closure, allowing the exaggerated proportions of the lower half to take center stage.
Measurements & Fit Note
Tagged Size: 40
Fit Profile: These run notably large. As is common with Raf Simons' chunky footwear, it is recommended to size down 0.5 to 1 full size from your standard shoe size for a proper fit.
