Collaborative Minimal Technical Boots

JJJJound and ROA Join Forces on a Pair of Boots

JJJJound and ROA work in collaboration to deliver a pair of boots that were unveiled online on Instagram earlier. The Montreal-based brand fuses the shoe with its expertise as ROA adds its technical features to the silhouette. At first look, it seems to take on a relatively minimal design language with a sleek black colorway across the model with tinges of grey in a high-top form.

It seems to have a Vibram sole unit at the outsole base an branding along the midsole section as well. Additional branding can be seen at the toe area and the lateral side of the shoe with grey on top of the black base reading "JJJJound." It is rounded out by a heel loop for easy wearing and rope laces over the forefoot.
