With trail-friendly footwear on the rise, ALYX offers a glimpse at its forthcoming footwear silhouette. For Spring 2018, the label introduces a chunky leather shoe that fuses a sneaker sole with premium leather and handmade construction.

A chunky Vibram rubber sole grants the shoe security on unstable terrain and contributes to the shoe’s visual heft. Italian grain leather and suede uppers — available in black, white and cream — contrast with the hardy outsole, adding an air of opulence to the rugged silhouette. Three models offer mesh hits on the heel and tongue, while one model is all-leather, except for the heel pull-tab and tonal laces. An embossed ALYX logo completes the eye-catching boots.

Expect the low-top footwear to arrive early next year, in line with ALYX’s next clothing release — we’ll keep you posted as more news arrives. What are your thoughts on this footwear trend? Let us know if you’re planning to grab a pair of these shoes for yourself. For more outdoor-ready gear, check out the newly-announced Gorillaz x CP Company drop.
