There are many classic shoes out there and the desert boot is one of them, especially when it comes to menswear, but Karim Rashid released a limited edition collection that takes designer desert boots to the next level. Forgoing the typical earthy tones, these designer desert boots are full of punchy colors and bold patterns that the designer is known for.
Partnering up with Sully Wong, a footwear and accessories brand based in Toronto, Canada, for the designer desert boots collection is made for those who want to make a statement. There are wood textures in pink colorways and geometric patterns in a more basic black. Rashid says, "I have always been very interested in the sneaker since I am a true believer of the age of casualism…the great advances in technology, materials, performance, design, and style. It seems that the opportunity of experimentation is endless."
