References: ariesarise & highsnobiety
London-based streetwear brand Aries works in collaboration with ROA on the new Andreas hiking boot designed for the Fall/Winter 2023 season. The Andreas hiking boot is an archetypal design by ROA and it gets a new interpretation. The chunky silhouette is detailed with an asymmetric toe box that highlights reflective taping for a bright contrast along with 3mm accents to follow suit.
It is secured in place with the signature flecked climbing cord lacings true to Aries. The boots come in two colorway options all-black or a wild zebra 'pony' skin. BOth of these are detailed with original co-branding accents that can be found on the outer side of the high-top collar and ROA adds metal hooks, a rubber toe cap, Vibram tread, and pull tab heel.
