Pop Trading Company

Founded in Amsterdam in 2013, Pop Trading Company began as a platform deeply rooted in skateboarding and its surrounding community. Initially focused on distributing highly respected skate brands, Pop gradually evolved into creating its own apparel and cultural projects. Today, the brand is recognised for its ability to blend the authenticity of skate culture with innovative design and, of course, materials that endure both on and off the skateboard.

A Shared Foundation

The collaboration is about a shared respect for longevity, craft and culture. The Weejuns® loafer has been adapted and adopted many times over by different subcultures and generations. By pairing our heritage craftsmanship with Pop’s skate style, the Easy Weejuns® Lincoln loafer is reinterpreted in a way that is both reflective of its history and the ability to express different identities.

A Balance of Heritage Craft and Iconography

Our hand-sewn moccasin construction and top-grade leathers are met with Pop Trading Company’s custom hardware in shining silver and polished gold finishes. Set on the Easy Weejuns® rubber sole, the loafers are all about everyday wearability, providing optimal grip, traction, and water resistance. Rooted in heritage and expressive of modern street identity, the G.H.BASS & Pop Easy Weejuns® Lincoln Loafers are available in classic black and a smooth chocolate brown leather.

A Short Film Directed by Dan Henshaw 

Inspired by the British skateboarding culture and the creative influences that shaped it, the collaboration is accompanied by a film directed by Dan Henshaw. Shot across London, the film brings together figures like Nick Jensen, whose iconic parts in Blueprint Skateboards videos helped define a generation of UK skateboarding and Tim Burgess, the lead of The Charlatans, who’s song “Viva La Sociale” was famously used in Blueprint’s First Broadcast video in 2001. A subtle nod to the crossover of skate culture and British music. The film is not nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia, it's focus on the shared influences of footwear, skateboarding, and music and how they continue to shape identity and creative expression.
