Side-gore boots are easy to slip on and off, keep your feet warm, and are perfect for the coming season. One of the leading brands in this category, Blundstone, has teamed up for the first time with Amsterdam-based Pop Trading Company. A limited-edition model has been released, adding a unique twist—true to the brand’s skate culture roots—to this classic style.
The inspiration for this design was the side-gore boot, an iconic style of Brandstone. The standout feature is the “hair-on cowhide” adorning the heel.
"Hair-on cowhide" means exactly what it says: a material in which the hair has not been removed, preserving the natural grain and pattern of the cowhide. Each pair has a unique character, making it a special pair just for its owner. This philosophy is perhaps characteristic of Brandstone’s side-gore boots, which develop their own unique character as they’re worn over time.
In addition, the toe features a burnished finish, and the side gore is double-stitched. From the back view to the side profile, the finish offers a unique twist on the classic design. Packed with meticulous attention to detail, this shoe took over three years of development to bring to life.
Available in two colors. They’re currently available in sizes UK 3–10 (equivalent to 22.5–28.5 cm). These familiar side-gore boots feature a slightly unexpected accent: fur-lined cowhide. The ruggedness of work boots meets Amsterdam’s skate culture, creating a unique vibe unlike anything we’ve seen before.
