Albino & Preto Reunites With Padmore & Barnes for a Sport Boot Collaboration
Inspired by European hiking boots.
Partnering up once again, Albino & Preto is set to unveil a new footwear collaboration with Padmore & Barnes. Aptly named A&PWW01 Padmore & Barnes Sport Boot, the new model draws inspiration from European hiking boots that were intended to conquer the rugged terrains and peaks of Mont Blanc and the Italian Dolomites.
From its build to composition and overall design, the boot also pays homage to Albino & Preto’s jiu-jitsu roots. The upper is crafted from a mix of plush suede, leather and neoprene, while the tongue showcases co-branded insignia on the center taping. Highlighted accents on the tongue and heel boast a pearl weave fabrication, meanwhile, strap hook D-ring eyelets, accommodated by waxed round laces, offer a snug and secure fit.
All of this sits atop Vibram’s 1375 Bifida Cup Soles, which are built to provide excellent traction on rugged and slippery surfaces. The soles are engineered with different lugs that provide thrust, grip, and brake areas, enhancing support and traction for a secure and stable footing.
The A&PWW01 Padmore & Barnes Sport Boot will be available in the U.S. on February 5, 11 a.m. PST via Albino & Preto’s official webstore.
