The George Cox 4 Eyelet Derby is back with UNDERCOVER, and this round pulls its entire look from Cindy Sherman’s photography archive. Both the black and white colorways dropped September 9th, 2026 at $450 USD, sold directly through George Cox.

This is another chapter in the long running tie up between George Cox’s Northamptonshire workshop and Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER label, a pairing the two have revisited on this exact silhouette before. For Fall/Winter 2026, they handed the shoe over to American artist Cindy Sherman, turning decades of staged self portraiture into the literal surface material. Sherman built her career photographing herself in constructed personas to question how identity gets built and performed, a theme that lines up closely with UNDERCOVER’s own reputation for subversive design.

The UNDERCOVER x Cindy Sherman x George Cox 4 Eyelet Derby Design

Construction sticks to George Cox’s usual process. Both pairs sit on the 1353 last, the brand’s traditional round toe shape reworked here into something sturdier than its typical dress silhouettes. A lightweight EVA sole carries each pair, and steel eyelets handle the four eyelet lacing that gives the derby its name. Inside, natural kip lining leather gets the industrial stamp George Cox uses across its catalog. Rather than dyeing or embossing that leather, the team photo prints Sherman’s images across the entire upper, with the artwork’s focal point sitting at the toe.

The two colorways pull from different corners of Sherman’s catalog. The white pair carries her 1983 piece Untitled #122, while the black pair combines two earlier film stills, Untitled Film Still #16 from 1979 and Untitled Film Still #53 from 1980. Together, the imagery spans four years of one of contemporary American photography’s most studied bodies of work, stretched across a shoe more commonly associated with British tailoring than fine art.

Why Did UNDERCOVER and George Cox Pick Cindy Sherman for This Derby?

Sherman’s self-portraits interrogate how identity is staged and performed, a theme that mirrors UNDERCOVER’s own history of subversive, identity-bending design, making her photography archive a natural fit for the pair’s ongoing 4 Eyelet Derby collaboration.
