blackstock & weber

Founded in 2017 by Chris Echevarria, Blackstock & Weber is a Brooklyn-based brand that has redefined the classic loafer for a new generation. Echevarria, a fashion industry veteran, identified a gap in the market for a premium, well-crafted loafer that could bridge traditional menswear and contemporary streetwear. The brand’s signature products, including the Ellis Penny Loafer and the Mason Horse-Bit Loafer, are known for their substantial, often lug-soled, silhouettes and high-quality construction, with many pairs being Goodyear-welted in England and Portugal. This focus on durability and timeless design, combined with a modern aesthetic, has attracted a diverse following, from style-conscious men to sneakerheads.\n\nBlackstock & Weber has gained significant cultural traction through a series of high-profile collaborations with brands like J.Crew, Kith, JJJJound, and Throwing Fits, which have cemented its status as a key player in the modern menswear landscape. By releasing shoes in limited drops and fresh colorways, the brand applies a streetwear-inspired model to a classic footwear category. This approach has allowed Blackstock & Weber to build a dedicated community that appreciates both its artisanal production methods and its fresh, culturally-aware perspective on American style.
