Stussy Deluxe x Palladium 2010 Fall Footwear

2010-08-08T02:40:00.003-04:00

For the upcoming Fall season, Stussy Deluxe teamed up w/ Palladium on a special footwear collabo. Personally, I think these are a pretty slickk moderation of Palladium's signature Pampa Boot. On these one can see the swift changes on these such as the reduction of the boot to about an inch less than usual, a new heel-loop, two sets of laces, leather covered PU sock liner along with full leather lining & waxed canvas on the upper and premium grade suede to the eyelet stay, counter and the tongue. Also, Palladium’s circle logo is on the medial side in embossed suede which just come together to create these nice looking casual mid-boots. This collabo. really just fuses & blends the classic 60 year heritage of Palladium with the legendary laid-back aesthetic of California-based Stussy.

These will be available in three color ways: Black, Silver Mink, & Chili Pepper for $110/USD September 18, 2010 at Stussy Chapter stores, specialty retailers and online via Stussy.com
