The heritage footwear label Hunter has just teamed p with the New York-based retailer Extra Butter to launch a collection of limited edition PLAY Boots.
Some activities – like gardening or fishing – can get quite messy without the proper footwear. However, the new PLAY Boots solve those concerns with a water-repellent recycled nylon shell that protects against the elements. The removable shell also features a cozy purple fleece lining on the inside to keep the wearer's legs nice and toast, while the outside of the nylon shell features a cargo pocket for quick storage.
While the boots are perfect for plenty of everyday activities, Hunter and Extra Butter are promoting the new footwear with a moody campaign that plays on the idea of true crime documentaries and small town mysteries.
