European youth footwear brand Kickers has unveiled the Daltrey Chuk, a new hybrid boot made in collaboration with London's Goodhood.
Kickers turned to its own archives to guide the design of the Daltrey Chuk, combining two of its most iconic models: the Chukka and the Daltrey Boots. As a result, the new boots come equipped with premium suede uppers with triple stitching, padded collars, and signature green and red tabs, all of which rests atop extra-thick outsoles. The new silhouette will likely appeal to those in search of a robust, low-cut boot that, aesthetically, is in the same vein as Clarks.
The Daltrey Chuk is currently available to purchase on Kickers and Goodhood's websites, where they retail for £105 a pair.
