Hybrid Riding Shoes

The Raf Simons' Leather Velcro Boot Sneaker Mixes Country With Street

The Raf Simons' Leather Velcro Boot Sneaker is half country and half city. This sneaker mixes elements of riding boots with sneakers to create a shoe unlike any I've ever seen. And I see a lot of shoes.

The Leather Velcro Boot Sneaker features a boot upper with a sneaker sole. Velcro straps up top remind you that this is still a sneaker at heart, albeit an oddly designed one. Raf Simons could be starting a new fashion trend with this shoe. Only time will tell whether this boot-sneaker hybrid catches on.
