NBDA x Quacktails: A Bold Step into Uncharted Territory
NBDA, a footwear brand known for its quiet sophistication, meets Quacktails, a beverage brand famous for its audacious personality. The result is anything but ordinary. NBDA, widely known for its minimalist yet deeply intentional design language, has teamed up with Quacktails, the rule-breaking and colour-loving drink brand, to create a footwear collection that challenges convention and celebrates individuality. This unexpected partnership has reimagined NBDA’s signature technical slides — V11, V101, and V111 — into fresh, expressive silhouettes that speak to those who walk with confidence and comfort.
At the heart of this collaboration are two distinctive styles that merge NBDA’s precision with Quacktails’ irreverent spirit. Swedish Yellow is a monochromatic, all-yellow colourway that radiates refined energy and bold elegance. Pekin, on the other hand, pushes the envelope further. It features a vibrant yellow base complemented by punchy orange straps, creating a playful yet powerful aesthetic that invites wearers to stand out unapologetically. Each pair is a canvas for personality, grounded in NBDA’s core commitment to functional beauty.
To add an extra layer of fun and individuality, the collaboration also introduces a range of attachable charms. These are quirky, collectible additions that allow each slide to be customised to reflect the wearer’s mood or story. Tailored specifically for the NBDA x Quacktails collaboration, these charms turn our footwear into playful, evolving, personal works of art.
Beyond aesthetics, this collection speaks to a broader ethos — one rooted in movement, expression, and connection. The NBDA x Quacktails collaboration is a celebration of community in all its forms. Whether you are a painter or a photographer, a videographer, stylist, designer, chef, or someone who works a nine to five in an office, you are part of something bigger.
This release is for the creatives, the thinkers, the doers — for everyone with their own rhythm and their own spark. Different walks of life, but the same unfiltered spirit.
At the end of the day, we are all Quacks.
NBDA x Quacktails
Some creatures are made to exist in contrast.
Effortless, absurd. Soft, loud.
Nowhere and everywhere at once.
They glide across the surface — composed.
But below? Urgent. Constant. Unseen.
This is for the version of you that fits.
And the version that doesn’t.
Not everyone sees the other side.
The NBDA x Quacktails collaboration wasn’t made to blend in.

PSA: No ducks were harmed in the making of this.
Love takes many forms. It’s in movement, in rhythm, in the quiet details that make something-or someone— unforgettable.
For Tsitse and Tofa, love is in the way a silhouette falls just right, in the deep bassline of a song that lingers long after it ends, in art that challenges and comforts all at once. It’s raw energy, refined taste, and an effortless ease that comes from knowing who they are. Love is in the way they layer textures, the beats they move to, and how they see art-not just as something to admire, but something to live in.
Footwear, for them, is no different. It’s not just about what’s worn, but what’s felt. The lines, the craftsmanship, the movement. This is more than just shoes, it’s about stories. About passion. About a synergy that manifests in the details. And of course, it’s in footwear. The right pair of shoes can define a mood, anchor an outfit, and change the way you walk-literally and figuratively.
NBDA steps into their world—a world of passion and personal expression-where footwear is an extension of identity, crafted for those who move through life with intention.
Love isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s just the perfect fit.
