Vibrant Vibram Hiking Boots

1017 AKYX 9SM's Technical Low Hiking Boot Gets a Bright Makeover

Fashion label 2017 ALYX 9SM gives its signature Low Hiking Boot a new makeover that is bound to capture attention. The new brightly hued iteration stands out from its original all-black colorway as it boasts high-vis orange tones throughout its uppers with some black detailing accents and black midsole made from Vibram materials. The footwear is made in collaboration with outdoors specialist brand ROA. The midsole is a chunky structure that is made with durable threading to ensure longevity. Nylon details combat any weather threats whilst still delivering attention-grabbing accents.

The uppers also have nylon strap details with tactical nylon lined with breathable mesh materials fastened with a cotton cord and metal lacing hooks. The new Low Hiking Boot is now available for purchase online at 2017 ALYX 9SM.
