Known for their work boots and heritage silhouettes, Nicks Boots is once again elevating your footwear with the goal of maximum durability and comfort. Just in time for their yearly collaboration, Nicks Boots is reuniting with Carl Murawski for a new boot designed for style and meant to last for years. As with most of the shoes in Nicks Boots’ lineup, this latest pair is designed to blend ruggedness with a refined element, creating a work boot that you can wear off-hours. While featuring various stylish elements, these boots are designed to be worn, and their personalized aging features allow them to patina over time, becoming even more of a fashion statement. 

Nicks Boots and Carl Murawski introduce The Blackwood

In this new release, The Blackwood derives its personality from the fact that it ages and becomes even more stylish over time. Featuring overdyed English Bridle leather from Wickett & Craig, this material undergoes a fascinating process that involves tanning it first in Buck Brown, followed by a black overdye finish. Through wear and time, the boot will patina, revealing the warm brown tone that has been hiding underneath. Other features of the shoe include Dr. Sole Half soles, 8-inch height, brass hooks and eyes, an LTT pattern, and a brown rolled top. All of these details create a low-profile design with ultimate grip and a long-lasting construction. This new Nicks Boots and Carl Murawski partnership is available via the Nicks Boots website and retails for $899. An elegant and rugged boot, The Blackwood is a true work of art that combines premium craftsmanship with elevated style.
