Paraboot: for one week only
French footwear brand Paraboot released a limited-edition of its Yosemite boot on January 18 in partnership with a niche creative label called Classic Paris, a specialist in book publishing and art curation.
Classic Paris has made the boot the centrepiece of a collection that also includes apparel, a hat, a book and walking poles. The whole collection, including the very limited run of the Yosemite boots, will be available to buy for one week only at Classic Paris’s studio in the French capital’s Le Marais district.
The boots themselves are made from vegetable-tanned natural leather and have had no other treatment. Each pair comes with two pairs of laces, one braided beige and green and the other plain beige.
A Paris-based screenprinter called Ro Studio, famous for its commitment to sustainability, travelled with a mobile print-shop to the south-east of France, gathered plants from the fields around the Paraboot factory near Grenoble, used the plants to make ink and used the ink to print on site the boxes for each pair of the limited-edition Yosemites. Each pair costs €350.
