Opie Way x Hudson's Hill | Jungle Boot
Product Description:
After pouring over archived original footwear examples, we built what we think merges all of the best details of the classics with modern, functional utility, which we aptly named the Jungle Boot.
This blend of details you may have seen in sneaker collaborations we’ve released over the last two years, coupled with the integration of waterproofed fabric, tongue webbing for lace protection and pull tab to ease access, a circular waterproof ankle patch (a nod to Palladium boots), and a technical, nubbed Vibram sole for improved traction.
Here’s the nitty gritty:
This limited edition release utilizes upper fabric from original 1950’s Mitchell camouflage shelter half, a rare double-sided camouflage tent used by troops during the war. The olive drab cotton webbing is from an original spool of 1957 military issue. The OD waterproof canvas circular patch on the instep is from a roll of original World War II foul weather suit fabric. Horween Essex leather accents. A&E #70 bonded nylon thread. Waxed laces made in Georgia. The solid brass two piece grommet washer eyelets are made in USA by Stimpson. Vibram Christy cup sole, side wall stitched for added durability.
Ultimately, these will take you anywhere, and turn heads while doing so.
This is our limited edition release to cap off the year. **Made to order - ships early January.
