Recently, the line between workwear and street style has subtly blurred. More designs have become versatile enough to provide the support you need daily without losing style. In an unexpected collaboration, Noon Goons and KEEN Utility have developed a stylish boot that can function as workwear footwear and a stylish casual shoe. Inspired by the Cincinnati work boot, this renewed boot has everything you need to keep comfortable without changing out for the day. Mixing in aesthetics from both brands, these work boots are more than just your typical everyday boot. Southern California-based Noon Goons brings a refreshed style to these classic utility boots, making them modern yet timeless.

Composed of a premium brown leather upper with a brown crocodile-stamped leather collar, this sleek work boot has the look and feel of a sleek lace-up. Details like gold eyelets, fireman laces, and dual branding appear throughout the utility boot. In its construction, the design comes with a 360-degree Goodyear rubber welt and contrasting midsole. The outsole of this shoe is slip-, heat-, and oil-resistant, for extra protection for anything you might encounter. Keen’s Luftcell midsole comes with air infusion for extra lightweight support that gives added comfort to the user. Priced at $250, this boot is available on KEEN Utility’s and Noon Goon’s websites. For in-store purchases, this boot will be available to try on at Nordstrom locations. Whether you use them for work or everything else, you can’t go wrong with a flexible shoe that can do it all.

In their latest release, the athletic brand continues down its path with a new Clifton model that's even more chunky than before. One of their most popular models, the Clifton, made its first impression on shoppers in 2014 and has continued to impress over the past decade. With this new release, the Clifton 10 offers upgraded features and a more maximalist silhouette. While far from the typical look of other sneakers, such as the adidas Samba, the new Clifton 10 has everything a runner needs.

Back with another footwear collaboration, JJJJound is joining forces with Vans for the ultimate project that brings its famed skate style to non-skaters. While Vans is known for being the ultimate skate shoe, there’s no doubt that it’s also a go-to casual sneaker. Along with JJJJound, the brand adds higher-end details that still bring the street style but with a twist. These two brands go back years, having first worked together in 2017. However, this time around, the duo is reuniting for the first since Vans revamped their Vault by Vans line to OTW by Vans. As part of a plan to bring a more elevated style to their casual brand, this division will likely see many more collaborations in the future.
