With a whole host of cross collaborations engulfing feet fashion recently, It seems that many product partnerships have become a little laboured yet the Palladium Boot's minimalism and obvious functionality creates a direct and cohesive vision that reflects Neil Barrett without any confusion.
The shoe itself is simple, hardwearing and rather nifty - especially being able to tuck them down on the sides making it easy to tuck your jeans in or pull your jeans over the boot. There is no overbearing signature design - nothing that goes 'POP' which allow the details (neutral colours, tonal-embossed branding, high-quality leathers) to really stand out.
This would quickly become an ageless staple if found in my wardrobe and is a prime example of a textbook collaboration that celebrates both participants' aesthetics without losing sight of its sole purpose.
