Danner Meets Special Brands

Boots are once again on the rise. Among them, Danner is attracting particular attention. Danner" has a strong image of being classic and authentic, but in fact, highly sensitive brands are making special orders one after another, and new charms are being unearthed. The reason for this may be that, since the Danner has a solid base, the arrangement stands out. Here, we pick up three brands, N. HOOLYWOOD, ENGINEERED GARMENTS, and WHITE MOUNTAINEERING, from such special-order Danners. Let's get a head start on the coming boot boom.

N.HOOLYWOOD

Beautiful upper and rugged sole.

N.HOOLYWOOD × Danner ¥54,000＋TAX

This pair is based on the "Postman Shoes" made for the U.S. postman, but with a different arrangement. The beautiful glass leather upper is suitable for everyday wear as well as formal occasions. The sole uses Vibram's flat tank sole, which offers excellent grip and safety. The brand tag on the upper is also an accent.

(Left) Pisname of "N. Hollywood" is placed on the inside. The solid black upper stands out. (M) The tongue is more protruding than the previous model. It is a trivial arrangement, but its effect is tremendous. It creates an impactful appearance. (R) The outsole is the most distinctive feature. Vibram's flat tank sole is applied to the postman's shoes to create a rugged look.

By maintaining the charm of the solid postman shoe and combining it with a voluminous sole, we have updated a pair with an exquisite expression that is uniquely N. Hollywood. These shoes add a subtle accent to your style. Enjoy them in a variety of situations.

."We chose a shiny jacket to match the postman shoes and texture. The rest of the outfit is also monotone, giving it a masculine yet clean look. Also, since the entire outfit is black, the brand tag on the shoes adds an accent. The loose silhouette of both the top and bottom pieces is well balanced with the postman shoes with voluminous soles. To keep the look from becoming monotonous, I added a change by hanging a GI belt."

N.HOLLYWOOD
