nonnative Again Recruits Guidi for Lush Zippered Boot Collaboration
Exclusive makes of the Italian brand’s hefty backzips.
Guidi and nonnative make for natural partners. The Italian and Japanese labels firmly believe in melding function and high-end craft, so their first collaboration last year was a logical move. This latest joint effort is no different, as nonnative puts its own spin on a Guidi signature.
Taking on a set of back-zipped 788V boots in beige and charcoal, Guidi has finished each shoe to its usual standard of excellence by utilizing techniques like Goodyear welt stitching and premium zippers. This marks the 788V style’s first outing in these tones, as its robust reversed horse leather is most commonly executed in black. Either way, the lush textile is guaranteed to soften with wear and mold to the wearer’s foot over time.
Furthermore, nonnative has customized the shape by adding a sturdy Vibram outsole that heightens traction and beefs up the silhouette. This means that Guidi’s logo is uncommonly stamped on the insole, instead of the bottommost part of the sole.
On February 13, COVERCHORD’s website will launch nonnative and Guidi’s latest collaborative boots for ¥178,000 JPY (just under $1,700 USD) in European sizes 41, 42, 43 and 44.
