Japanese fashion brand NEIGHBORHOOD recently remodelled the classic duck boots to reflect a more opulent style for everyday wear that goes beyond hunting and exploration. These boots are made with luxe leather with contrasting stitching to provide the same durable wear as the traditional design with a much more dapper style.
Duck boots are typically worn by hunters out in the marshes or bogs providing water-resistant wear that keeps all sorts of unwanted elements out. These luxe duck boots by NEIGHBORHOOD creatively rebrand the style with a sleek black and leather contrasting silhouette complete with juxtaposed white stitching, a thick soul and a ribbed toe. Despite the sleek aesthetic of these leather boots, they are made more so for urban wear and warmth.
