For the brand Paraboot, the Micheal Derby shoe is only one of the most iconic designs in their rotation. Established over 115 years ago, Paraboot has become an understated go-to brand and the Micheal shoe is their star. Just as Paraboot has silently wowed the masses, Studio Nicholson has added luxury and style to wardrobes in small yet significant ways. Both sophisticated brands have joined forces to refresh the beloved Micheal Derby shoe in a way only they can. Although it is being marketed for next year’s Summer/Spring collection, this collaborative shoe is worthy of wearing now. An almost hybrid of a slipper and sneaker, this design is perfect for those who are always on the go but still want to look dressed up even if they’re in a rush.

In a new collaboration between Studio Nicholson and Paraboot, the “Michael’ Derby shoe is getting a slight upgrade worthy of both brands. Handcrafted in Paraboot’s French factory, the shoe is made from a sheepskin leather lining and full-grained deer leather that oozes quality and luxury in every corner. The shoe’s construction utilizes traditional Noreweign welt stitching and includes a chunky natural rubber sole for extra traction on the bottom. The brands opted for chic white cotton laces that add the perfect ruggedness to the design. The ‘Michael’ Derby shoe is now available via Studio Nicholson’s web store, flagship stores, and selected stockists for $655. This design comes in a chic dark brown tone that’ll work perfectly with almost any look you have in mind.

Returning to the Made in the USA 997, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance are remixing their original collaborative sneaker for a more colorful design. Using mixed materials, multi-colored silhouettes, suede overlays, and mesh underlays the sneaker boasts a more refined yet fun look than its predecessor. The ENCAP midsole and rubber outsole complete the design giving the sneaker a premium look from the inside out. Along with the multi-colored sneaker, the pair have released numerous clothing items that pair perfectly with the footwear. Donning colors like olive green, red, yellow, and blue, this sneaker is anything but subtle or minimalist. Available via Aimé Leon Dore’s web store, the sneaker retails for $220. While the collaboration between Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, their newest sneaker drop is the perfect culmination of five years of style and iconic silhouettes.
