What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDesigner JW Anderson, the man behind the pigeon-shaped handbag and the tomato clutch, has teamed up with Ugg on loafer-inspired versions of the Classic Boot and the Tasman slipper.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo delegations, one table. The loafer brings its structure and the slipper brings its comfort, and nobody has agreed on terms yet.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd music producer Dev Hynes fronts the campaign, so it looks like the new look comes with a very cool face.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA neutral mediator. I have seen treaties saved by less, and by far worse footwear.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm in slippers right now, Gloria, under the desk.
