NEW BOOTS:

Following on from its recent release with Viberg, HAVEN has continued its footwear collaborations by linking up with Diemme. The new release focuses on the Italian label’s Roccia Vet hunting boot which features new touches including a luxurious leather upper and modern hardwear courtesy of HAVEN.

The boot itself is constructed from a mix of premium leathers — including a smooth, nappa leather on the mudguard and a padded deerskin leather lining — as well as supple suede panels. Other features of the collaborative footwear include a custom YKK Excella zip on the medial side, gunmetal lace hoops and a mixture of Vibram’s New Winkler outsole with Zeppa NG5 midsole. The hunting boot is then finished with a webbed nylon heel pull tab and debossed HAVEN and Diemme logos on each tongue.

Take a look at the HAVEN x Diemme Roccia Vet boot in the gallery above. The collaborative silhouette will arrive at the HAVEN web store in black and “Sand” on December 5.Never one to shy away from producing something bold, Off-White™ is back with its latest product — the chunky sneaker-boot hybrid. Fitted with a Nubuck upper, the hybrid shoe sports a spray-painted body with a mottled gray tone that splashes all over the front of the shoe and drips onto the chunky sole unit, which fades as the paint moves towards the mid-sections.

This boot features a number of technical elements all around, from its Nubuck-covered and mesh-backed double tongue situation to the purple-colored metal D-ring eyelets and khaki green “SHOELACES” found running through them. The sole unit sports a lugged, almost wave-like detail to the base which is channeled further thanks to the shapes that run around the midsole and to the rear, leading the eye to the heel where you’ll find Off-White™ branding.

More Off-White™ branding appears on the lateral-side rear-quarter in the form of a white tab, while the brand’s signature zip-tie tag has been given a marble effect makeover.

Take a look at the Virgil Abloh-designed Off-White™ sneaker-boot hybrid in the gallery above, and purchase a pair for yourself from retailers such as Sevenstorewhere the shoe is priced at $1,347.50 USD.Dr. Martens has been celebrating its 60th anniversary for the past 12 months, tapping the likes of Marc Jacobs, NEEDLES, and A-COLD-WALL* for a number of 1460 boot makeovers. Today marks the final 1460 Remastered collaboration, this time around working with mastermind WORLD for a fittingly punk-inspired take on the iconic boot.

Masaaki Homma‘s mastermind JAPAN and its sub-brand mastermind WORLD is the cult Japanese streetwear brand known exclusively by its use of the skull as a motif. With this, Homma says the skull represents “a fight until death to fulfill one’s destiny,” and this ride-or-die logic has been used throughout the twenty-plus years mastermind has existed. It consistently references the punk world and has made this one of its core aesthetics, appreciating the British subculture all while giving it a distinguished twist.

As a result, the mastermind WORLD x Dr. Martens 1460 Remastered boot is perfect for the punk within you. Made from black leather, the boots feature iconic yellow welt stitching alongside a black and yellow heel loop that notes its AirWair soles. mastermind WORLD comes into the collaboration by adding not just its signature skull motif to the lateral-side collar and heel, but by also adding a skull-branded dog tag, a jungle-zip on the front with a mastermind WOLRD-branded zipper pull, nickel trims, and a medial-side zip.

The mastermind WORLD x Dr. Martens 1460 Remastered boot can be seen in closer detail above, and will release on Dr. Marten’s website and at select retailers worldwide on December 12.
