Tricker’s x Division Road Super Monkey Boot in Natural Chromexcel: $585

Division Road’s exclusive Tricker’s monkey boot pattern subtracts speed hooks, adds eyelets, and makes a couple other subtle changes to update the classic style with some more modern flair, making them more akin to “sneaker boots.” These boots are made on Tricker’s 5402R last and feature a 360 storm welt with wildly lightweight Vibram Morflex soles. Division Road is serving them up this time in three flavors, including classic natty CXL…

White’s Boots x Huckberry Cruiser in Black Roughout: $675

Viberg Scout Boot in Sweet Potato Eco Veg Suede: $710

Huckberry has also recently unveiled three new Viberg Scout models (which don’t appear to be exclusives but they aren’t available anywhere else yet). All three models have subtle differences between them. First up, this Sweet Potato model is built on the 2030 last with a 360 stitchdown construction on some Vibram Morflex wedges.

Enzo Bonafé Quarter Brogue Oxford in Black Calf: ~$585 (Crowdfunded)

Swedish outfitter Skoaktiebolaget has a whole slew of crowdfunded GMTOs worth checking out at the moment. First up, a classic black calf quarter brogue oxford from Italian artisan Enzo Bonafé, built in on the 74945 mod last with a 270 flat welt and single leather soles.

Meermin Norvegese Service Boot in Superlux Horsebutt: $490

Meermin has brought back their Norvegese offerings for a limited time, and while there’s a whole bunch of different styles available that feature this distinctive chain stitch, I’ve gotta highlight these service boots that have been made with Superlux horsebutt from Conceria Cloe, which we’ve seen some great examples of in the Thunderdome and have been really loving. Built on the Hok last with Meermin’s city lug soles, these will only be around till Wednesday 3/23!
