For Viberg, the mission is to create the ultimate rugged boot that retains a certain level of sophistication. In another collaboration with writer David Coggins, the Canadian company has developed a balanced mix that brings sturdiness with style. The Outsider II boot continues this partnership that already brought us one practical shoe. However, the Outsider II differs from its predecessor as it dives deeper into giving users a chic boot that can withstand any situation. Using a unique Goodyear welt construction, this boot represents sturdiness you can’t find in most footwear options.

Produced in a tobacco full-grain calfskin suede, this boot has all the luxury feel on the outside. This suede material comes from Italy’s Conceria Opera tannery, known for its texture and ability to withstand extreme environmental conditions. Crafted on the 2040 Chelsea Last, it contains a flat toe, pull tab, and sock liners. With its Goodyear Welt Construction, the foot sits on top of the insole and welt that connects the entire shoe. This method allows users to mold and form the leather as they wish. On the bottom, the rugged sole gives all the stability and security to take the next step in your journey.

This boot retails for $1,000 and is already taking pre-orders via Viberg’s site. With an expected production time of 10 weeks, the first orders of the design will begin to ship out on December 16. Although the look and feel of the boot are more than enough to entice footwear fans, the quality production and materials make it a worthwhile boot for the season.

How Our Legacy Work Shop and ROA created the most elegant hiking boot around

Our Legacy Work Shop, ROA create new hiking boot

When choosing hiking boots, most will solely focus on features that help support the foot inside and can successfully handle rugged terrain. For Our Legacy Work Shop and Italian-based ROA, creating their third collaborative design meant taking the hiking boot standard a step further. Made with recycled materials and an extensive craftsmanship process, the newest collaboration is nothing short of quality and style. Marking their third partnership, these two brands have included the best of their distinct styles and processes for the ultimate boot. While the craftsmanship takes this design to the next level, the materials and details truly make this a must-have for hikers. With plenty of character and sturdiness, the hiking boot delivers not only style but plenty of substance.

Using Swedish Vacchetta leather from residual tannery offcuts, these hiking boots are constructed and made in Italy, where they undergo further processes to get the design’s sleek look. With a vegetable tanning process, the uppers are given their unique coloring and character that makes every pair one-of-a-kind. Apart from leather, these boots utilize matte and hairy suede to give them even more texture and dimension. Vibram Megagrip soles and padded tongue give the hiking boot a further sense of volume and ruggedness. Smaller details like rope laces, heel tabs, and metal eyelets bring the design together. Ideal for rough terrain and urban environments, these are your typical hiking boots. The Andres Boot is available for purchase via Our Legacy’s web store and retail for 590 EUR in either black or brown hues.

Although emojis have become a constant in our lives and a vital part of the conversation, it seems as if only a few manage to look like real-life inspirations. Thankfully, for those who have always been intrigued by the vast emoji encyclopedia, the time has come to finally hold one in your hands (or rather wear it on your feet). Designer Josewong has not only created a real-life emoji shoe but a sneaker you’ll want to wear daily. Far from a gimmick or parody, Josewong’s design is a classic retro-inspired sneaker that looks exactly like the shoe emoji you already know and love. Although the entire design is entertaining, these sneakers are another timeless shoe you’ll want to add to your wardrobe.
Introducing the Shoe 1 sneaker

Even though the similarity of the sneaker is enough to catch your attention, the inside is still worthy of being worn. This sneaker boasts a fluffed-up tongue and heel and is constructed with full-grain nubuck and mesh upper. The shoe also features a lightweight EVA foam midsole and heel, and a polyurethane rim for extra comfort. As a bonus, the sneaker comes with plenty of Apple-inspired details such as a 3D-printed re-creation of the A5 processor used to power the iPhone. The sneaker’s packaging also comes in a theme inspired by the minimalist Apple packaging. Available for $219.90 via Josewong’s website, these emoji sneakers are far from a joke. For those looking to complete the entire emoji-inspired look, a blue cap and a pair of socks matching their emojis are also available on the site.
