Pared-Down Boot Designs

The Mr. Bailey TRILLIUM Boot is a New Take on the Chelsea Boot

The Mr. Bailey TRILLIUM Boot comes as a far simpler and somewhat streamlined take on the classic Chelsea boot that aims to bring a certain level of laid-back cool to the footwear design. Created by Mr. Bailey for EKN, the boot features a cutout ankle portion that creates an angular aesthetic that allows for a more fluid level of movement when worn, while also creating a new kind of silhouette.

The Mr. Bailey TRILLIUM Boot boasts a stitch-less upper section that is achieved thanks to a single piece of raw edge leather that has been paired with a hidden elasticated collar. The footwear design features a Vibram Christy sole, which rounds the boot off as being ideal for fall and winter in the city.
