SOREL x NEEDLES: Two Silhouettes, One Unmistakable Shade

SEPTEMBER 21, 2026 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO

SOREL and Japanese label NEEDLES come together for a collaboration that brings two distinct design languages into unexpected harmony. For the occasion, NEEDLES applies its unmistakable aesthetic to two silhouettes from the SOREL AMBLER™ collection: the AMBLER™ Waterproof Chukka Boot and the AMBLER™ Waterproof Clog. Both arrive in the label’s signature purple, contrasted against deep black and defined by bold proportions, creating a striking balance between subcultural attitude and outdoor functionality. The result feels equally at home on the street and in more unpredictable weather, combining SOREL’s performance-driven DNA with NEEDLES’ distinctive approach to colour, craft and American-inspired design.

Since its launch in 1995, NEEDLES has built a reputation for reinterpreting American influences through a distinctly Japanese lens, with craftsmanship and an unconventional design language at its core. That perspective meets SOREL’s long-standing expertise in weather-ready footwear, resulting in a collaboration where function becomes part of the aesthetic rather than an afterthought. 

The SOREL x NEEDLES collection will be available from September 25, 2026, offering two statement silhouettes united by one unmistakable shade of purple.
