Original Playboy Marie Black Leather

The essential moc shoe that ties the Original Playboy wardrobe together in black

After the taupe drop, the Marie moves into the house's most classic black — the shade that runs through the whole Original Playboy wardrobe and ties this model back to the rest of the collection. Same foundation as the brand's other silhouettes: over 60 years of Danish shoemaking craft, standards built on decades of work with the brand, and a cut made for her. In black, the Marie stops being a standout piece and becomes the one you reach for without thinking, whatever the outfit calls for.

The thick pull-up leather upper, here in a deep black with a subtle sheen, catches the light differently depending on the angle — a read that comes down to both the material and the construction. The moc construction is closed and hand-sewn, with clean, visible stitching tracing the forefoot. The two-eyelet lacing closes the collar without ever weighing down the line. Underneath, the mid-height rubber outsole runs a bolder tread than other colorways in the range, backed by a visible welt that anchors the shoe visually to the ground. Inside, the cognac micro leather lining contrasts against the black upper, and the sockliner carries the gold Original Playboy crest, the four-leaf-clover logo, and the patent number reference.

The mid-height outsole, with its bolder tread and visible welt, absorbs the unevenness of city pavement better than a classic flat sole, while keeping the slim stance that defines the Marie. The micro lining and cushioned micro insole deliver consistent comfort over time, from daily city wear to dressier days — the pair works just as well with wool trousers as with raw denim. The thick pull-up leather, softer than standard leather, molds quickly to the shape of the foot while holding its structure. Made in Portugal, the Marie Black Leather carries the same standard of craft as the rest of the house's black lineup.
