Converse Waterproof Nubuck Boots are Ready for Spring

It’s hard to deny the fact that the Chuck Taylor All-Star has been one of the most popular lifestyle shoes ever since its release in 1917. However, when it comes to functionality and durability, the canvas material falls short of protection against harsh weather conditions.

Although we’ve recommended snagging a pair of rubber shoes the new Converse waterproof Nubuck boots are a fashionable alternative that feature water-resistant Nubuck leather, insanely comfortable inner booties, and a rugged, vulcanized rubber outsole.

The Chuck Taylor All-Star saw a winterized transformation in 2016, but this year’s revamped Nubuck creations are stupidly stylish, boasting four infatuating fall colorways. If you’re looking to add some flare to your fall wardrobe, one of our favorites in the collection is drenched in a stunning autumnal hue of dark red. This color is not only pleasing to the eye, it matches well with other earth-toned colors.

The all-black silhouette is an easy grab to complement anything in your wardrobe, especially with your daily get-ups to the office. Besides, all-black always looks steezy in cold weather.

Then we have a gray and a tan pair with white rubber soles to round the collection out with some two-toned, trendy tenacity. The two colors really radiate the traditional Converse All-Star look, even down to an unmistakable, branded ankle patch.

Converse Nubuck boots are available now for $120. Peep the other weather-resistant pieces in the Counter Climate collection while you’re there.

Men’s winter outfit ideas: Embrace brown textures and bold blues this season
Look great even when it gets cold
Winter Outfit Feature

Winter brings with it the coldest temperatures of the year. While some people in Florida or Southern California don't have to worry about that in the same way that others do in Minnesota or New York, everyone has to adjust their seasonal wardrobe to stay warm. Much like we did with winter boots, we don't believe one should sacrifice style in the face of cold weather. There are ways to stay warm while still looking great. Because we never want anyone to sacrifice their style while trying to keep warm, we came up with some men's winter outfit ideas you can wear today to look fantastic and not freeze when leaving the house. 
Brown textures

The Pantone color of the year is mocha moose, which means that 2025 is the year of the browns. Wearing brown is a tricky affair at times because the color can feel bland if you do it the wrong way. That is why we focused on bringing textures into my outfit. The corduroy jacket and corduroy pants created a daring look that can play well off each other if done right. Mixing that with the cable knit sweater and suede boots deepened the look in a way that let the textures speak and liven up the browns. Topping that off with a tan beanie keeps the head warm while playing off the lighter brown of the sweater.

While we're always rounding up some watch deals for affordable timepieces, we also check for offers on luxury watches that don't often go on sale. Here's one from Amazon: the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel at 14% off, which brings the price of the automatic watch down from $13,300 to $11,500 for total savings of $1,800. It's still not what you'd call affordable, of course, but if you're on the hunt for a luxury watch, you should heavily consider taking advantage of this deal as this class of watches rarely gets discounts.

Why you should buy the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel automatic watch
