G.H. Bass has teamed up with Corridor on a new summer footwear collection.
Included in the collaboration are updated takes on the footwear brand’s Larson and Fisherman styles.
The Larson, made from woven raffia and suede, are classic G.H. Bass loafers reimagined with a lighter lug sole. As for the Fisherman, it is made with soft suede in light, natural tones and features a slightly wide cut with a single strap across the top and minimalistic hardware or button closure.
This latest collaboration comes just months after G.H. Bass released a collaborative boat shoe with French swimwear brand Vilebrequin. Released in February, the G.H. Bass x Vilebrequin Hampton Boater was characterized by its handsewn construction in nubuck leather with signature Vilebrequin turtle embossed throughout.
G.H. Bass made headlines again in April when it was announced that Aldo Product Services (APS), a division of the Aldo Group, inked a deal with G-III Apparel Group to become the strategic licensing partner for the footwear brand.

Under the terms of the seven-year exclusive licensing agreement, APS will design, manufacture, distribute, market and sell G.H. Bass footwear, bags and small leather goods starting in the spring/summer 2026 season.
The deal also gives Aldo Group the rights to distribute G.H. Bass products across authorized retail channels in North America. This partnership also includes the management of the e-commerce platform, Ghbass.com. G-III previously had the brand’s operations in-house prior to this deal.
According to Jeffrey Goldfarb, executive vice president at G-III Apparel Group (which purchased the footwear brand from PVH in 2013), the new license will “extend the reach” of G.H. Bass to a broader consumer base.
The heritage footwear brand traces its roots to 1876 when George Henry Bass got into the shoe business in Wilton, Maine. He is credited with making plough shoes for farmers, moccasins for woodsmen and even outfitted golfer Bobby Jones for all of the sport’s major championships. But his most famous creation was the Weejun, a revamped Norwegian farm shoe and the world’s first penny loafer, which he introduced in 1936.
The G.H. Bass x Corridor collection, with both styles retailing for $265, is now available on Ghbass.com, Corridornyc.com, Corridor stores and select wholesale retailers.
