Having first featured as a sneak peek in Issue 16 of Sneaker Freaker, the Rockport collaboration shoe with fashion label UNDRCRWN is set to drop late November. One of the cleanest team ups we've seen in a while, this shoe takes the boat shoe craze to the next level, combining flashy pink laces to pop off the pin stripe and gingham panels. Add to that a lush woollen toe box, brushed suede uppers and buttery leather heel strips, this slice of nice is only limited to 100 pairs worldwide, so get your hunting guns out now!
PRESS RELEASE
As a brand with roots in sports lifestyle, UNDRCRWN's rich palette of products have easily made their way from the courts to the street - products which have, over time, become coveted in fashion and basketball culture. In Winter 2010 we introduce a brand new men's capsule-collection titled "D.O.C." The Apparel Range, conceived by Dustin Canalin (UNDRCRWN Creative Director), focuses mainly on contemporary ‘Cut & Sew' pieces. In addition, there is a co-branded footwear collaboration with Rockport. To kick-off the capsule, we're releasing the limited edition "D.O.C x Rockport Delta Boot." Truly for the aspirational at heart, the shoe features an array of luxe materials. The dark grey Melton wool & black suede upper is reminiscent of fabrics used on premium varsity jackets while the black and white gingham lining counter-balances the darkness of the shoe. Giving it the sense of luxury found in tailored suits and handcrafted luggage, pinstripes were also added to the upper. A butter soft leather heel and embossed leather patches on the tongue further compliment the refined aesthetic. To lighten up the design, a pop of color was incorporated through the use of pink-waxed laces. Hand sewn elements and purple stitching found on the heel mimic the construction of apparel and provides the perfect finishing touch to tie it all together. Applying a timeless design to the Rockport silhouette results in a clean, luxurious and fashionable boot. With only 100 pairs available globally, the Fall/Winter 2010 "D.O.C x Rockport" collaboration will start retailing on Friday November 27th. The shoe will also be available for purchase at www.UNDRCRWN.com in limited quantities. SRP: $110.00
Editors Note: Travel, escape and "Winter In Miami" heavily inspired the color story. The grey found in the wool is much like the ambiance during the dark NY winters- while the pink laces were used to represent the warmth and vibrancy of a Miami sunset. The leather and pinstripes are also a nod at the features found in luxury luggage.
