References: arisearies & sorelfootwear
The new SOREL x Aries footwear collaboration blends performance design with streetwear style in a limited-edition capsule launching September 5, 2025. At the center is the CALLSIGN HORIZON™, a silhouette inspired by the SOREL Caribou boot, reimagined with Aries’ counter-culture aesthetic. Details include a removable zip-off micro shroud with bungee cord closure, waterproof Gore-Tex™ upper, and Vibram™ molded outsole engineered for durability and traction. This marks the first time SOREL has partnered on the silhouette, pairing utilitarian function with bold, fashion-forward expression.
The collection extends beyond footwear with the Premium Aged Zip Through Hoodie crafted from heavy brushed-back cotton fleece and finished with co-branded graphics, plus a knitted beanie featuring a silicone temple patch. Shot by photographer Solve Sundsbo, the campaign emphasizes both brands’ shared spirit of resilience and rebellion. Available through SOREL, Aries, and select global retailers, the capsule demonstrates how heritage craftsmanship and contemporary subculture can merge into a distinctive statement.
