“ENGINEERED GARMENTS” combines classical American taste with modern design and functionality. So far, they have collaborated with famous shoe brands such as “HOKA” and “KEEN” releasing a number of worldwide hits.

The partner for Engineered Garments latest collaboration project is “Paraboot”, the only footwear brand in the world that manufactures all shoes in-house, from the upper to the sole. This time, Engineered Garments have customized Paraboot’s “MICHAEL” boots which are one of the signature staples of the brand.

Based on the same model with a Tirolean style and elegant appearance, the color has been modified to gunmetal and a D ring and lacing system reminiscent of classic authentic mountain boots has been added. The upper uses a combination of long pile suede and smooth leather, and the SMOKEY and WHISKEY colors feature striped shoelaces.

The collaboration shoes are available in three colors: Cafe x Smokey (second photo of this article), Marron x Whiskey (left), and Black (right).

Engineered Garments has managed to re-iterate on a well-established classsic that is well loved by fans thanks to its practicality, as well as the durability of the Norwegian manufacturing method unique to Paraboots, and the grip of the original sole made of natural rubber.

These collaboration shoes are on sale at Nepenthes affiliated stores and Nepenthes online store from December 3rd. Engineered Garments brings a modern touch to this long-established brand of boots from France. We highly recommended these for anyone looking for a pair of high-quality boots.
