Palace works in collaboration with C.P. Company on the new Cornado boots that are made with the help of Italian footwear expert Diemme. The shoe is named after Diemme's favorite pizzeria and to prepare for the colder conditions, the shoes are constructed from wax-coated suede material.
It is then paired with rubber toe caps and metal D-rings as well. The sleek hiking shoe blends elements of a hiking boot and sneaker model. It comes in two bright colorway options starting with a black and lilac option. It is followed by a more seasonal option of green and brown. Co-branding details can be found resting right above the heel on top of the oversized rubber outsole unit.
