UGG has teamed up with JW Anderson to give its iconic Tasman slippers a fashion-forward makeover

UGG slippers have become a fixture in fashion wardrobes, but the brand’s latest collaboration is giving one of its most recognisable styles a designer twist.

UGG has teamed up with JW Anderson for the first time, reimagining its iconic Tasman silhouette as the UGG JW Anderson Loafer.

The new unisex collection launches on October 16, 2026 , bringing together UGG’s signature comfort and the unconventional design perspective of Jonathan Anderson.

Known for his playful approach to fashion and ability to turn everyday objects into conversation starters, Anderson has taken inspiration from the traditional penny loafer to create a shoe that sits somewhere between a casual slipper and a more dressed-up footwear option.

The result retains the familiar appeal of UGG while introducing a series of considered design details that give the classic silhouette a new identity.

A rounded toe and distinctive box-stitching bring a fresh shape to the design, while UGG’s signature materials and cushioning remain central to the shoe.

The combination offers an alternative for anyone who loves the comfort of a classic UGG but wants something with a more fashion-focused finish.

Colour is another important part of the collection. The UGG JW Anderson Loafer arrives in three shades personally selected by the designer: Chestnut, Khaki and Orange.

While Chestnut offers a familiar option for those who prefer their footwear in a neutral palette, Khaki brings a more understated edge. Orange, meanwhile, is the standout choice for anyone looking to make a statement with their everyday wardrobe.

Anderson’s interest in the loafer extends beyond footwear, with the designer previously exploring its details across bags and ready-to-wear. For this collaboration, he has translated that design language into a recognisable UGG shape.

“I was interested in seeing something so familiar through the lens of JW Anderson ,” Anderson said of the partnership, explaining that collaboration gives him the opportunity to experiment with two distinct creative perspectives.

The launch is accompanied by a campaign starring musician and producer Dev Hynes, best known for his musical project Blood Orange.

Set inside a home, the campaign focuses on everyday rituals, from getting dressed to moving between rooms and heading out for the day.

Rather than presenting the shoes as something reserved for special occasions, the imagery explores how considered design can become part of an everyday routine.
