Milan-based label Slam Jam works in collaboration with Italian heritage hiking brand Demon to launch three new iterations of the Poyana boots. The shoes boast an avant-garde look with its unique silhouette, fusing a sneaker with a boot.
The boots arrive in options such as white and reflective silver for a bold look -- it has the brand's logo hot-pressed into the upper completed with a crinkle patterning throughout. The silhouette also rounds out the toe section and holds it together using the eFoam Protection Binding. This holds the front of the shoe in place and offers a sturdy stance on uncertain terrain. It also offers reflect sock webbing, nylon gaiter at the sock lining, waterproof sensibilities, and more.
