UGG x JW Anderson adds loafer details to familiar silhouettes

UGG and JW Anderson collaborate for the first time in the autumn and winter of 2026, rewriting the familiar silhouettes of Tasman and Classic Ultra Mini into two unisex shoes, Loafer and Loafer Boot. The series will be launched on October 15th. Jonathan Anderson has selected chestnut brown, khaki and orange. The actual colors sold in each market are different. The information on the shelves in Taiwan and Japan needs to be read separately.

UGG wool shoes, how to add Penny Loafer design language?

The two shoes retain the soft silhouette of UGG, adding round toes, loafer-style horizontal straps and box stitching. The upper details that were originally common in more formal shoes are placed behind the wool-lined shoes, creating a look and feel between casual home wear and outdoor wear. This is also the main identification point of this collaboration.

Loafer starts from Tasman, and Loafer Boot adds a boot shaft. The junction of short boots and low-cut boots is different at the trousers: if you want to expose socks or ankles, you can compare low-cut boots first; if you want to retain the silhouette of the boot legs, you can take the trouser length and skirt length into consideration. These are pattern matching directions and cannot replace actual fittings.

Price and size information of two models in Japan

Japan announced that the Loafer Boot is priced at 70,400 yen, and the Loafer is priced at 52,800 yen, with sizes ranging from 22 to 30 cm. Sales channels include UGG official website, Tokyo Flagship Store, Ginza Matsuya Street store, Osaka store, as well as JW Anderson online store and some stores. The three colorways don't mean every store has the full size available.

The Japanese data is local pricing, and the exchange results should not be directly used as Taiwan selling prices. Cross-border purchases also require additional consideration of shipping range, size markings, and return and exchange conditions; in particular, the same pair of shoes may come in centimeter, US, or other sizes at the same time, so you should confirm with the comparison table of the selected market.

What styles are officially available in Taiwan?

The official introduction of UGG Taiwan lists that the online store sells chestnut brown and khaki green Loafer, priced at NT$11,800; the chestnut brown Loafer Boot is priced at NT$15,800. Designated stores include Zhongxiao SOGO, Taipei 101 and Taichung Intercontinental Hanshen UGG. This is the officially announced sales range, and current inventory still needs to be checked.

officials also stated that the series uses wool lining and adds upgraded insoles. The appearance of leather or suede does not mean that it can be worn in any weather; before maintenance, you should read the product material and brand guidelines, and avoid treating soaking, exposure, or high-temperature drying as general cleaning methods.

For a pair of shoes, first choose the silhouette you will use.

If your wardrobe is mostly wide trousers, you can first check whether the trousers cover the Loaf straps; if you usually wear shorter trousers, the round toes, upper seams and socks will be more obvious. Chestnut brown continues the familiar impression of UGG, while khaki and orange increase the presence of color matching. There is no need to directly equate color with ease of wearing.

The most useful comparisons when choosing are still the height of the shoe shaft, foot shape and existing wardrobe, rather than simply using a joint name to replace wearing needs.
