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.

Just in time for Jelly Roll’s appearance at Stagecoach, the country singer and brand Hey Dude are gearing up for another release of their popular collaboration. Last month, the duo released their second collaborative collection, the Debossed Shoe, which became an instant hit. Selling out in no time, fans were left in the dust. However, in light of the singer’s highly anticipated music festival performance, the duo is once again releasing a select number of the shoes for those who previously missed out. The shoe is a highly personal footwear, as it details the musician’s life via Hey Dude’s iconic silhouette. Due to the high demand for the shoe, the brand is limiting customers to three pairs to ensure that everyone has a chance to obtain their desired pair.
