Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand James Perse has expanded beyond apparel and into footwear with the launch of its first men’s and women’s footwear collections.

 
The collection consists of the Zuma and Colony slip-on sneakers for men and women, respectively, as well as the Carbon lace-up sneaker for both men and women.
 
The Zuma, Colony and Carbon styles are all available in leather, nylon, mélange cotton and neoprene. The footwear range is designed in California and manufactured in Italy and Asia, and prices range from $375 to $425

James Perse adds footwear to its extensive men’s and women’s apparel lines, home goods collection consisting of bedding and towels and furniture collections named after cities in California. Perse launched his eponymous label in 1996 with a collection of women’s knits, which later developed into the Standard James Perse collection of high-quality basics and the James Perse Los Angeles collection of ready-to-wear items.
