American sportswear brand Gant has teamed up with Italian footwear maker
Diemme on a limited-edition collection of hiking boots for autumn/winter
2020 to mark the brand’s first-ever collaboration.
Produced in Diemme’s artisan factory, located an hour north of Venice,
the boots have been designed to feature subtle design elements from Gant’s
heritage, as well as the Italian footwear maker’s mountaineering DNA to
highlight the traditional craftsmanship of both brands.
The limited-edition collection has been based on Diemme’s classic Roccia
Vet hiking boot and is crafted in full-grain, vegetable dye cowhide
leather, with custom tonal and non-tonal rubber trims to protect against
outdoor activities. The boots are also lined with soft calfskin leather and
come with a cushioned latex compound sole for comfort.
“Diemme has been on my radar for a long time,” said Gant’s global
artistic director, Christopher Bastin in a statement. “They’re the perfect
example of a brand that has catapulted a heritage product range into the
higher echelons of fashion without compromising on quality and
craftsmanship. When the opportunity to collaborate came along it was a no
brainer.”
The hiking boots come in three colourways, persimmon orange, dry sand
(tan), and solar power yellow and features three additional shoelace
colours to change up the look.
