“Our focus continues to be on building our lead brands with enduring cultural authority - brands that honor their origin while continuing to evolve. Naturalizer has long defined what comfort means for women. This collaboration with June Ambrose underscores how comfort and trend are mutually reinforcing forces. By bringing together Naturalizer's fit legacy and product innovation with visionary creative voices like June, we're expanding what modern comfort looks like, while keeping this Caleres lead brand firmly at the center of today's style conversation,” said Jay Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of Caleres.
“STYLE-LETICS is the new choreography of fashion. It’s this fusion of culture, movement and identity – the way women really live. Every day is a sport. Every schedule is a sprint. And I wanted to create a language where style flexes with us, not against us. Style doesn’t have to hurt to be powerful,” said June Ambrose.
The initial release features two styles: the Nova-Shaft sandal-boot hybrid and the Zyra ghillie pump. Both designs incorporate sneaker-inspired construction and cushioning. The first drop is priced between $295 and $350.
The full STYLE-LETICS collection, consisting of five styles, is scheduled for release in March. It will be available on Naturalizer.com and later through Macy’s and Nordstrom.
“Working with June began with a single, clear idea she articulated on day one: STYLE-LETICS. That became our north star – the belief that performance and style don’t compete. They collaborate. What makes this collaboration truly unique is the tension June loves to play in: pairing sport-forward construction with unexpected luxury finishes, colors and materials. The result is footwear that shows up for everyday life with an undeniable attitude,” said Natelle Baddeley, Chief Design and Product Officer of Caleres.
The collection was developed in collaboration with Naturalizer’s design, fit, and innovation teams and incorporates materials and construction techniques commonly associated with athletic footwear.
