The Cole Haan x Hasan Minhaj 4.ZERØGRAND [Waterproof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-waterproof-luxe-boot) Hikers have been unveiled by the brand as a new collaboration with the namesake comedian that will provide consumers with a comfy yet stylish way to support their lifestyle. The shoes come in two color options, which include a subdued option and a more eye-catching one that are both capable of surviving the rough and tumble of everyday life. The [sneaker-like interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-x-brandblack-boot) of each of the boots make them the perfect comfort-focused option that won't back down when on city streets or on natural terrain.

The Cole Haan x Hasan Minhaj 4.ZERØGRAND Waterproof Hikers pay homage to both Minhaj's Indian-American heritage and feature a [waterproof design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mizuno-hiking-shoes) that will further enhance durability.
