Timberland's Mens summer Boot: The Cityblazer

Timberland’s boot-making expertise stretches out across the seasons with the introduction of the bold CityBlazer: transforming a cold-weather staple into a lightweight, summer silhouette ready for the urban landscape.

Ever the modernisers, Timberland respond to calls for a high boot that could function during the warmer months, providing the look and feel of classic Timberland boots without the weight and bulk. Reliable and rugged, the CityBlazer channels the DNA of the brand into a responsive, style-lead collection with a contemporary outlook.

 An advanced design relies on advanced innovation; the CityBlazer employs two key developments to create this summer-ready boot.
 Firstly, to produce an amazingly light boot the sole has been completely transformed. Made up of 50% air, an ultra-lightweight injection moulded midsole meets a comfortable and adaptable high rebound PU compound and a tough, grooved outsole for a stable ride. Each step delivered with ease and flexibility.
 Secondly, in line with Timberland’s commitment to sustainability, the company calls on Thread, a Haiti-based organisation crafting high-quality, ethical cloths from recycled materials, “Responsible fabric from ground to good.” Transforming discarded bottles into durable cloths, Thread provides jobs, creates income opportunities and encourages cleaner neighbourhoods.

BELSTAFF MENSWEAR CAMPAIGN SPRING 2016 'WORSHIP THE GROUND'

The campaign showcases the legendary Belstaff Trialmaster boot - one of Belstaff’s most iconic designs over the past 60 years since its creation in 1955 - and other associated products.

The Trialmaster boot has travelled far and wide, been worn by racers, aviators and fearless pioneers. These boots are the embodiment of lasting craftsmanship and the ultimate accessory for a lifestyle of epic adventure. Belstaff has secured the talent of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, legendary polar pioneer and arguably “the world’s greatest living explorer” (Guinness Book of Records), together with Riley Harper, the US stuntman with whom the brand has worked in the past, to star in the campaign shot by famed photographer Rankin.

The “Worship the Ground” campaign captured a series of authentic portraits and film of Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Riley Harper,exploring what the phrase means to each of them.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes was the first man to reach both Poles, the first to cross Antarctic and Arctic Oceans, the first to circumnavigate the world along its polar axis and was the youngest Captain in the British Army having joined the SAS in 1965. He fought Marxist terrorists between 1968 and 1970 and received the Sultan’s Bravery Medal from Her Majesty the Queen.

 Riley Harper is a renowned Hollywood stuntman who travels the world driving, riding motorcycles and taking hits as a stunt double for some of Hollywood's biggest stars.An avid motorcycle and car enthusiast, Harper shares a love with Belstaff for all things with engines and wheels. His Instagram profile @LIFEOF_RILEY counts 40K followers.

 Rankin, the famed British portrait and fashion photographer will shoot the campaign, bringing together two powerful names in British culture, intersecting across adventure and fashion. Seven images have been produced – three of Fiennes and four of Harper.

J Shoes launch Ltd Edtion Bowden Boot

British heritage Footwear Brand J SHOES are set to launch a new Limited edition Boot as part of their AW12 Collection. 

The Bowden Boot is made using vintage army blanket fabric. The concept being to find a material that was unique yet sustainable, no longer used in its original industry and to give it new life.

Designed by J SHOES Head of Design, Nick Drury, the Bowden is the first in a series of special designs for the brand. 

“We wanted to incorporate an interesting repurposed material outside of the norm. I came across army blankets online and bought what I could to create this style. We then matched the material with contrasting laces and soft kudu leather to compliment.” said Drury.

As well as the army blanket fabric, J SHOES have also partnered with Dainite, a historic sole manufacturer, famous for its studded rubber soles, which have been made in England since the 1900s. The factory is located in Market Harborough just minutes away from where J SHOES began and the company has an excellent reputation in the industry as being one of the best in sole manufacturing.

The boots also have a Goodyear welt construction, which is a traditional method allowing the wearer to re-sole the boots repeatedly -- yielding decades of wear and an even longer life for the boot.

 Remember these are limited editions and only 200 of the style have been made worldwide!!

The Bowden Limited Edition will be available from July 2012 at www.jshoes.com and exclusively at AUTHOR London.
