BOOT OF THE DAY | #180 | VANS VAULT OG Sk8-Hi DONALD TRUE BLUE

okay, this is definitely not a boot but a wonderful sneaker for me as a great DISNEY fan. found this classic VANS VAULT SK8-HI @ TRÉS BIEN. the sneaker is a collaboration style with DISNEY and features all the things a SK8-HI stands for: “Front section and tongue in smooth suede with side sections in contrasting patterned canvas. Leather and textile lining. Contrasting laces. Suede back section. Leather details on the sides. Sits on a customized white waffle rubber sole …” wonderful. maybe they will do one day a FANTOMIAS SK8-HI – then i had to make a decision: buying or not 😉 pics | TRÉS BIEN (shoe), LTG

my left arm: FANTOMIAS

BOOT OF THE DAY | #173 | NIGEL CABOURN X CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR

when i found this boot some minutes ago i was really surprised because of never heard about it before. dutch great TENUE DE NIMES got this nice collaboration CHUCK in stock today. you can get it in 2 colors: olive and black while the olive one is my favorite. this is what RENÉ from L’EQUIPE DE NIMES tells about it: “a wonderful collaboration between good friends of us at two labels we value really high. CABOURN re-designed the classic CHUCK in a way it turned into the perfect basic boot. made from superfine british VENTILE cloth it’s both wind and waterproof. with its thick and ribbed rubber outsole it makes for a solid appearance and reveals the inspiration from the british military.” some facts: ALL STAR high style | upper made from L28 VENTILE fabric | wind and waterproof | ribbed toe bumper and sole-edge | brass eyelets | vintage style heel tab | tonal olive CHUCK TAYLOR logo | “GENUINE VENTILE” cloth label woven inside | CONVERSE and NIGEL CABOURN logo’s imprinted on insole | limited edition. a must have? i think so … pics | Tenue de Nimes


BURTON x CARHARTT | F/W WINTER COLLABORATION

yes guys. to complete your rugged snowboard look these pieces are the right stuff for you. months ago i posted the BURTON x RED WING SHOES snowboard boot collaboration. the boot is now available at f.ex. b-74, frankfurt. and the CARHARTT snowboard jacket and trouser should be available soon in selected stores around the world. i found the jacket at austrian BLUE-TOMATO for 300 euros. i think this jacket is not only wearable on the board. it seems to be a cool winterjacket with a lot of high-tech details and lifetime guarantee with a great traditional attitude! the stuff is available in black and classic duck brown – my favorite. pics | carhartt-wip
