Rollie x Victorian Pride Centre – A Pride Shoe with Purpose
Step into Pride this June with Comfortably You — a bold new collaboration between Rollie, the iconic Australian shoe brand, and the Victorian Pride Centre, the first purpose built LGBTIQA+ centre for our communities.
This once-off, limited-edition shoe collection isn’t just made for walking — it’s made for making a difference. Every pair is a celebration of what it means to be proudly, powerfully, comfortably yourself.
Pre-orders are open now until 11 July.
Every pair is made to order and delivered January 2026 – just in time to kick off Midsumma Festival in style.
10% of every purchase is donated directly to the Victorian Pride Centre.
Why Comfortably You?
Because comfort is about more than shoes — it’s about being at home in your identity.
For people of diverse genders and sexualities, being comfortably you can take strength, pride, and perseverance. This campaign honours that journey — and invites everyone to step forward with confidence, authenticity, and joy.
Featuring Real People from Our Communities
This collection features four individuals who embody pride in every step:
- Caleb AKA Cerulean – A proud Meriam Mir person and the reigning Miss First Nation 2023, Cerulean is a dazzling drag artist and advocate dedicated to spreading Black and Queer joy. Through performances and community engagement, they create spaces where everyone can shine authentically.
- Tyler – Venue and Facilities Coordinator at the Victorian Pride Centre, Tyler is the heartbeat of our space—ensuring it’s not just functional but fabulously welcoming. With a flair for fashion and a commitment to creating safe, inclusive environments, he brings both style and substance to every step.
- Flic – She leads with passion and creativity. Whether orchestrating impactful campaigns or literally going over the edge—like abseiling down the Pride Centre to raise funds—she is a communicator, changemaker, and understands the power of community — and the importance of walking the talk.
- Paul – CEO of the Victorian Pride Centre and former President of JOY Media, Paul is a passionate advocate for inclusion and equality. With a background in community media and a love for storytelling, he champions spaces where every voice is heard and celebrated.
These are not models — they’re real people, representing real stories from our communities. Their presence in this campaign is a reminder that pride is not a performance — it’s a lived experience.
