Franck Muller and Danner Join Forces on the Field FM Boot
References: endclothing
Swiss luxe watchmaker, Franck Muller works in collaboration with Danner to create the special Field FM boot. It is designed with the notion of 'forgetting about time together' as the brand notes that it is meant to "liberate people from the concept of measuring time."
It is made to honor both brands' local Japanese brands so the entire information about the launch is written in Japanese. The time inspirations can be seen in special motifs and custom touches stamped throughout the entire upper. The model has a leather paneling and numbers are printed across in various angles and applications along the lower section of the shoe. The upper is then detailed with busy graphics along the panels.
