nonnative and GUIDI have collaborated once more on a new version of the shoemaker's ‘BIG DADDY Center Zip Boots.’ The revised boots mark the second time the two companies have worked together on this silhouette. The name comes from the idea of a child wearing their father's large shoes. The boots are inspired by this concept and therefore feature a huge round toebox and forefoot. The leather ‘BIG DADDY’ boots are dressed in nonnative's trademark grey and sand tones for the collaboration.
The boots also include a thick Vibram sole, Norwegian welt stitches, and horse leather on the uppers. The nonnative x GUIDI 'BIG DADDY' boots will be available for purchase online at COVERCHORD on Saturday, June 11 for approximately $1607 USD.
