Duke + Dexter<\/span><\/a> is pushing its sneaker story forward with the Plus Duke Sneaker, a statement low-top that translates the brand\u2019s loafer heritage into a bolder, street-ready silhouette for everyday wear.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus Duke Sneaker: next-gen D+D design<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Plus Duke Sneaker marks<\/span><\/a> Duke + Dexter\u2019s first major sneaker family since its 2022 rebrand, developed over roughly two years to capture a classic shape with the label\u2019s signature twist. Designed in London and handmade across Europe from premium leathers\u2014including cracked, patent and snake-effect finishes\u2014the style features mohair-style laces, custom debossed eyelets and detachable, screen-printed tongues that can be removed for a cleaner look.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

According<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Head of Creative Connor Boon<\/b>, \u201cOne thing we love at the brand is taking a classic silhouette and making it feel contemporary \u2013 making penny loafers for the people that don’t want to feel heritage,\u201d adapting the vamp logo from Duke + Dexter\u2019s penny loafers onto the sneaker\u2019s lace guard and adding a new \u201cPlus Star\u201d icon, zigzag whipstitching and contrast soles to make the shoe instantly recognizable.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Collection details and pricing<\/b><\/h3>\n

On the brand\u2019s site, the Plus Duke line sits as \u201cthe next generation of D+D,\u201d offered in men\u2019s and women\u2019s sizing with colorways like Vintage Grey + White, Black, Snake, Kiss, and Black Studded, many priced around <\/span>\u00a3220<\/span><\/a> (approximately $280) at full retail. Product copy highlights hand-finished construction and removable tongues across the range, showing a focus on both craftsmanship and customization.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to shop the Plus Duke Sneaker<\/b><\/h3>\n

The full Plus Duke collection is available online via <\/span>dukeanddexter.com<\/span><\/a>, where shoppers can browse men\u2019s and women\u2019s sizes, colorways, and coordinating apparel and accessories. Select styles are also stocked through multi-brand retailers and marketplaces, giving international customers additional access points beyond the brand\u2019s own site and London studio.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n
