The new Sebago x One Block Down capsule collection
The iconic streetwear retailer meets the aesthetics of the American Ivy League
July 7th, 2020
The iconic style of the American universities of the Ivy League, which mixes classic garments with a young and sporty aesthetic, is the protagonist of the collaboration between Sebago and One Block Down. The historic American brand founded in Maine in 1946 and the Italian retailer bring together the best of their souls, seemingly different, but actually perfectly compatible, both born to dress two passions (the one for nautical and that for street style and sneakers), for the capsule For the youthful wanderers.
The capsule includes two models of loafers, a sweatshirt, two t-shirts, a pair of trousers and a cap. Among the items in the collection, all of which are in the colorways of red, white, gray and beige, the most interesting are definitely the loafers. The iconic Sebago footwear will also arrive in stores accompanied by a set of collectibles: two coins, with the Michigan-based company's logo on one side and One Block Down on the other, and a book that tells the origin and evolution of the iconic shoe model.
The launch of the Sebago x One Block Down collection, which will be available online and exclusively in the One Block Down stores in Milan and Rome starting Friday, July 10, is accompanied by a campaign taken by Elizabeth Bick that portrays two cool kids around the streets of a typical American metropolis. The images, made with the help of stylist Maurice Diallo mixes urban details and garments, emphasizing the street soul of the capsule.
