Powerful, delicate, yet beautiful, the engineer boots by GDC and Wesco are a gem.

Stylist, photographer, and creative director. Takashi Kumagai is not limited to the framework of fashion, but continues to be active across a variety of scenes. It is probably still fresh in your mind that his former brand "GDC" will make a long-awaited comeback in 2025 (see the article of this interview).here (place close to the speaker or where the speaker is)(See Section 2.1.2.).

Since its revival, the brand has announced a series of collaborations with partners with which it has close ties, such as Dragon Ash and HYSTERIC GLAMOUR. In addition, the opening of a flagship store has been realized, and the brand's presence is now stronger than when it was first established.

G.D.C. has teamed up with WESCO, a long-established work boot brand representing the United States, for its first collaboration in 2026.

The base of this collection was chosen from the "BOSS" engineer boots, which are synonymous with WESSCO. The upper is made of black oiled draffout leather, which is comfortable for the feet, and has both a high-quality appearance and an appealing finish that deepens as the boots age.

BOSS EXCLUSIVE ¥490,000

The buckle, made of 925 silver, has a design inspired by Kumagai's favorite vintage Navajo jewelry, and the top strap is studded with G.D.C.'s iconic eight-pointed star. The top strap is studded with the eight-pointed star that symbolizes "G.D.C.". It is subtle, yet it asserts a certain individuality.

The number and length of the upper and lower belts, the beautifully sloped form of the last, the Vibram sole with its excellent stability, and other delicate detail work reveal the rugged strength unique to Wesco, as well as G.D.C.'s commitment to function and delicate arrangement skills.

The gem of the collection is the result of repeated discussions between Mr. Kumagai and Mr. Sunao Okamoto of Wesco Japan. The product is available for order only and can be purchased at the GDC Flagship Store andOfficial Online StoreApplications will be accepted from 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 3, 2012 at
