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.

MCCVIII (Twelve -O-Eight) AW17 footwear collection

MCCVIII is the luxury footwear label founded by shoe designer Carl Gilliam and his brother, music superstar will.i.am.

Named after their childhood home address of 1208 Glennfield Court in Boyle Heights, Esat Los Angeles, the collection is inspired by their backgrounds and the values they learned growing up.

The Chariot collection features two new distinctive silhouettes, the Chariot Archer High-Top and Chariot Archer Low-Top. Inspired by the ancient Roman sport of chariot racing - from the traditional shape of a chariot to the successful charioteers who bought their freedom - the Chariot is an everyday shoe for the modern champion. With a custom luxe rubber sole, the Chariot comes in an array of distinctive colour combinations including orange with a green sole, pink with a pale blue sole, blue with an orange sole and metallic with a white sole.

The 2nd shoe collection features a reinterpretation of the brand's Pharaoh silhouette with the introduction of the Pharaoh Fringe - in black, light blue, pink, peach, red and tan.

  The collection also consists of the Pharaoh High -Top and the Pharaoh High Top Plates. the Plates are accented with 18 carat gold plated details.

These square toed sneakers are of Italian calf leather and Italian nubuck leather with lambskin lining.

VIVOBarefoot- A New Evolution in Barefoot Luxury

Barefoot shoe brand launches their premium HANDCUT range - set to transform the way you think about footwear forever.

Porto Rocker High Top

 The HANDCUT launch brings carefully adapted shoe constructions that let your feet do their thing as nature intended and unveils Vivobarefoot’s latest innovation that brings you even closer to natural, barefoot movement: The curved Heel Rocker.

 This is because, with every step we take, our foot passes through three position phases, known as “rockers”. These three phases are: the Heel Rocker - when the heel contacts the ground to begin the step - the Ankle Rocker - when the foot rolls from the heel to the ball of the foot - and the forefoot and the Big Toe - when the ball and big toe push off of the ground, giving the step momentum.

Opanka Lace 

 The new Vivobarefoot Heel Rocker is contoured to your natural foot shape to create a softer heel strike and a smoother heel stroke instead of the jarring heel strike you find with normal shoes. 

Lisbon

 The new simplistic yet stylish range is comprised of 4 styles that offer you complete comfort wherever you go.

Featuring patented, ultra-thin, puncture-resistant soles that give maximum sensory feedback whilst being worn. Simply put: shoes should let your feet do their thing.
