While every fall season brings about remixed boot collaborations, there is nothing like a classic fall boot. Whether you’re reaching for a Chelsea boot or an ankle boot, the options are endless for your quintessential fall footwear. The decision might’ve gotten easier thanks to Oak Street and Billy Reid. In their most recent collaboration, the two brands have banded together to create the ultimate fall boot, inspired by WWI Army boots. With this trench boot, both companies have mixed classic details with modern touches to create a shoe option you’ll reach for year after year.

Donning a classic boot silhouette, the collaborative trench boot is about keeping the details simple and timeless. Featuring Goodyear welt construction, calfskin vamp lining, a partially structured toe, and a hand-lasted storm welt, this boot is complete with the highest quality of craftsmanship. The finishing touches include antique brass eyelets and Billy Reid’s signature grosgrain ribbon. Available in a rich tobacco tone, this boot isn’t flashy, making it a unique shoe in the modern era. Like most rugged boots, this trench boot will need some time to break in, but can equally withstand any situation.

With plenty of references to the past, there’s no doubt this trench boot will last generations in your closet. Although there are plenty of boots to choose from, those looking to add this style to their closet will need to act fast as this limited edition shoe is expected to sell out quickly. Available via Billy Reid, these trench boots retail at $548 and are a truly worthy investment.

ASICS newest boot is far from your classic hiking shoe

ASICS releases new sneaker-boot

It’s no surprise to find an endless supply of classic chunky hiking sneakers under ASICS’ lineup. The athletic company has long become known for its classic ‘90s-style techy sneakers that can easily handle most journeys. While the brand has changed things with some bolder collaborations, its newest release is far from what you typically find in its catalog. Taking the form of a boot, the latest release is about adding military strength, durability, and design for a rugged and stable shoe. Although the design seems to step out of the norm for ASICS, the boot continues the same premium quality and craftsmanship you seek out of your performance footwear.
Meet ASICS’ new sneaker-boot hybrid

With their latest release, ASICS’ takes on a sneaker-boot hybrid that invokes some of their most rugged and bulky features yet. Taking on the previously released GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX, ASICS is redesigning its nonnative collaboration for a sleeker and darker look. Covered in a black suede upper with GORE-TEX lining, the sneaker boot has both durability and chicness that’s hard to find on the trails. Matte black hardware and contrast stitching allows the design to exude a subtle sleekness emphasizing the premium craftsmanship. While the hybrid design looks and feels luxurious, it remains a practical choice with a quick lace system that gives users easy access. A rugged outsole helps maintain traction and balance, no matter what terrain you’re exploring. This new hue is set to be released via ASICS’ website on February 10 and will retail around $219. While the initial release of this silhouette came as a shock to all, the new colorway evokes the feel of a different type of sneaker boot. While not changing much of the design or features, this new GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX is a must-have for all hiking fans.

Newest CAT collaboration collection sells out in first week

It was extremely popular and took no time to sellout

CAT x ASSC feature

CAT is as tough as you are. CAT has something for you, whether you are on a construction site, keeping the streets safe, or doing any other hard work vocation. They are the pinnacle of workwear and combine movability with durability while also never sacrificing what looks excellent as well. Then, some collaborations stand above the rest. Most recently, they collaborated with an MLS star to create a great-looking functional collection. However, the latest collaboration from CAT dropped on December 14th and may be the most popular yet, as it sold out in under a week. While the love for a short-run limited edition keeps these happening regularly, we can't lie and say we wish this one had gone on a little longer. We weren't quick enough, but for CAT x ASSC, it is a good problem to have.
Gone in a heartbeat

What made the collaboration so intriguing is the partly the other half of the creative collective. Anti Social Social Club began just under a decade ago when the founder, Neek Lurk (Andrew Buenaflor), used the creative aspect of the brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. Launching it on Twitter and becoming a viral statement of support for emotional health, the brand blew up and has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Kanye West and BTS. They do a lot of collaborations, so it is no surprise that the combination of their streetwear aesthetics combined with CAT's workwear reputation caused this collection to fly off the shelves. We will have to keep our ears to the ground for more coming down the pipe.
