Bowled Over

When it comes to time well spent, not much comes close to a game played with your friends under the sun.

For many, bowls is reserved as the sport of a certain generation – played slowly, with precision and patience. But for the D+D Bowls Club, it’s the sport of a lifetime; relaxing and so sociable.

In February, the D+D team set off from their UK HQ for the West coast of America to find the ultimate ways of spending time during balmy summer days – all under the brand’s SS22 TIME + PLACE campaign.

On the greens of Beverley Hills’ Holmby Park, they found it, pitching the UK versus the US in a game of wit, skill, and ruthless tactics, as the newly formed D+D Bowls Club took on the experience of Holmby Park Lawn Bowls Club, a group of retired Hollywood actors and film directors.

Everyone wore their selected pair of D+D sneakers from their SS22 collection – proving their abilities to take on the challenge of staying comfy (and looking hella swag) whilst the temperature climbed.

Designed to be lightweight, and made by hand with soft but durable materials, each sneaker has been ventilated with perforation or breathable technical mesh to maximise airflow to the feet.

Despite everything, the afternoon wasn’t about showing what our latest collection can do. It was about showing what D+D is all about – footwear that’s made to be worn and built for purpose, not just by individuals but by communities. Footwear that is made with quality and comfort at its core and designed to be as versatile as you need it to be.

And if you’re wondering Team D+D got absolutely murdered on the field.
