Duke & Dexter is focused on saving cheetahs’ lives, one men’s loafer at a time. The English footwear brand has partnered with the Cheetah Conservation Fund on a limited-edition loafer style, now available on its e-commerce website.
The black loafer style, which retails for $323, features a nubuck upper with a decorative hand-stitched cheetah design. It is also finished with a quilted padded lining, rubber sole and stitched trim.
For each pair sold, the brand will donate 25 pounds, or roughly $32, to the organization’s efforts in saving cheetahs around the globe.
According to the Cheetah Conservation Fund’s website, much of the cheetah population is threatened by human-wildlife conflict. “Over 90 percent of cheetahs live outside protected management areas, meaning that they live alongside human communities,” said a release on the site. The organization helps restore natural habitats and reintroduce cheetahs into the wild.
