The Next Iron Heart/Viberg Collab

[urbanwoodsman]

@urbanwoodsman:

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 sole

Shitty attempt at an example

I think this might be what Lando wants…

@Simon:

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

@urbanwoodsman:

I think this might be what Lando wants…

Yeah, but with Black Rough Out and a Steel Toe.

[Finn666]

sry for the question L. but why do you want a steel toe?
who do you want to kick in the … (add what you like) ? 

[John Ariz]

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

[Jordan23]

I vote for that!…would buy it definitely!

[bagley920]

Whatever it is, do brown. I don't wear black boots, but thats just me

[urbanwoodsman]

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.

[madmonday]

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

[eyeq8402]

I'm with Simon. That would just be killer. John Ariz has a great idea as well!

[joshlai]

I also like the idea of service boots. Viberg service boots are truly awesome. 

[John Ariz]

mad mon, I shouldve given credit to Viberg Blog for the pics I posted. although ive probably studied every facet of those and others like it as if it were my own family album

@urbanwoodsman:

[Giles]

No way that will happen.  Read first post….
