Fashion designer Todd Snyder has teamed up with PF Flyers to create a men’s footwear collection. The partnership came together naturally given Todd’s love for vintage sportswear and PF’s heritage in athletic footwear. This collaboration merges the essence of both brands creating a timeless yet fashion-forward aesthetic.
“I wanted to take a sneaker and a dress shoe and mix them together.” Snyder says, “its a very cool look.” With help from PF’s internal design team, Todd scoured PF’s vast archives to find the perfect shoe to kick off the partnership; The Rambler. This iconic silhouette has been modernized by Synder’s clean, minimalist sensibility.

The debut collection consists of a trio of monochromatic suedes available in eclipse, olive, and charcoal. Each colorway features a body made from premium unlined satin-suede, an embossed side-patch with classic PF branding, and distinctive design details like the signature Rambler ticking. A plush PF insert provides for a supremely comfortable and luxurious ride. Each shoe is styled with flat wax cotton laces, and a Todd Snyder branded woven ankle label which creates a modern look that can be worn with just about anything.
