The Clásico Tassel Loafer, Onyx

Blackstock & Weber is a Brooklyn-based footwear and menswear brand widely credited with reigniting the loafer's cultural relevance for a new generation. Founded in September 2017 by Chris Echevarria — a New Jersey native and FIT-trained menswear designer who previously worked at J.Crew and helped relaunch Stone Island in the U.S. — the brand takes its name from the two streets Echevarria grew up on: Blackstock Road and Weber Road. That personal rootedness informs everything: B&W is a brand that draws from real life, real places, and real craft. Echevarria's strategy was to treat loafers the way sneaker culture treats sneakers — dropping new colorways at a cadence that kept consumers engaged, turning a 'stale' category into one of the most talked-about in menswear. The results speak for themselves: lines around the block at Kith, sold-out collaborations with JJJJound, Bee Line, J.Crew, and END., and co-signs from the most respected corners of menswear. Built on Goodyear welt construction, premium leathers, chunky leather soles, and bold materials like pony hair and embossed croc, Blackstock & Weber loafers blur the line between heritage craft and streetwear energy — making them a perfect fit for prepsters, sneakerheads, and everyone in between.
