Patta x KangaROOS – PxK Hiking Collection

Amsterdam’s Patta keeps its track record of spectacular footwear collaborations intact with an upcoming release from new partner brand KangaROOS, the St. Louis-based company famous for their pocketed sneakers from the 1980s. The two names have come together to present the PxK Hiking Collection, made up of retooled versions of two hiking boot styles from the KangaROOS archive: the K2 in beige/olive, the Woodhollow in olive and Bordeaux colorways. Both models feature builds updated with Cordura nylon and premium leather, as well as details like colored eyelets, rubber PxK tabs, double branding on the outsole, and of course the trademark KangaROOS pocket. To keep you prepared for future outdoor adventures, the Woodhollow comes with a double-branded Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife. The collection will drop first at Patta on November 5th, then worldwide November 12th at select retailers including Avenue, Brothers & Sisters, Colette, CNCPTS, Foot Patrol, Hanon, Norse Store, Overkill, Pigalle and Sneakersnstuff.

PF Flyers – Andover Boot

While PF Flyers is commonly known for its simple canvas sneakers, the brand is extending a bit outside its comfort zone to present weatherproof footwear. The handsomely appointed Andover features duck boot styling as well as design notes from its vast archives. Details include waterproof duck-stitched vamp and an upper dressed with a combination of leather and wool flannel, as well as vulcanized rubber sole and durable metal hardware. The boot comes in black or grey colorways and is available now at PF Flyers retailers as well as online.
