The Next Iron Heart/Viberg Collab
-
I realize that this is likely the polar opposite of what you fellas like, but ever since I found this photo of a vintage Viberg lace to toe Army boot, I have wondered what a cleaned up/refined version at a 6in-8in height would look like (similar to everyone elses lace to toe? maybe not). I think it has a great profile, and not as bulbous as other brands lace to toe offerings. I believe that I originally found it on the Viberg site a long time ago.

with so many options good to see someone go so far left.
illumin8em good stuff & way to find inspiration
-
Duck upper with some brown leather, maybe in an 8in height.
Here's kind of what I was thinking,
Brown leather vamps(not too sure which)
Duck quarters
Double Midsole(maybe even in a tan color)
Vibram Kletterlift soleShitty attempt at an example
I think this might be what Lando wants…
-
These are beautiful, not sure how they could be improved for a colab?
I'd say do a black pair with just the top part where the stitching is a strip of duck, do some black on black with the orangish leather sole with black rubber beneath, that way the duck and the leather soul compliment one another. subtle and delicious.
personally i like the wingtip or cap toe versions of the service boot best, i feel less is more, you guys have already done 2 pair of denim sided viberg's, why not take a more subdued approach.
cheers

also,
i really dig the short shift boots, if you did a pair of black / black (say suede and full grain calf) with brass buckles and the pull straps with some duck accents. and once again a leather sole with the black rubber (pardon my lack of nomenclature) also in the heel having the piece of black in the middle really adds some nice contrast, once again it'll compliment the duck accents.
cheers

There can only be one: The Boss Motorcycle Engineer boot
1mm Horse hide skin, 11 inch high, Bump toe, double midsole for vintage styling and sturdy wear, thick brass buckles with brass rollers for top strap and instep strap, and fully lined in buckskin.
Low profile Vibram 705 and cut in a EE wide fit for thick socks and spread. -
I think this might be what Lando wants…
Yeah, but with Black Rough Out and a Steel Toe.
-
shit kickers, in the style of Gripfasts or Docs.
310 Service boot last
Round steel toe or double celastic
no upturn, cap toe, no brogue,
Superblack upper, tan rough out or smooth leather, ,
block heel, close trim, single tan stitching, close trim,
leather soles, midsole, Vibram705 halfsoles and heels, and brown edges -
Maybe something like this, an army inspired colorway. I don't like much about these but you get the drift. I'm not a fan of roughout or white soles.

nice John Ariz. & some great wear on the boots in those images
