Yogi Footwear and Hikerdelic Join Forces on a New Set of Shoes
Yogi Footwear works in collaboration with Hikerdelic on a new collection made up of four pieces and designed with inspiration from the mantra: "were the peaks meet the precinct." The duo create silhouettes specifically for the Fall/Winter 2021 season, following their previous partnership for the Spring/Summer 2021 season.
The new silhouette is the Derek Boot. Essentially, it is a reworked Chukka on the Yogi's iteration of the Finn shoe. With inspiration from the boots worn in the UK throughout the 90s, the Derek gets four colorway options. This includes Tumeric Suede, Apricot Leather, Dark Olive, and Dark Brown. All of theses sit on top of a traditional crepe sole with the mushroom head character Eric embossed onto the tongue.
