In an unconventional collaboration that bridges the gap between hiking footwear and cult streetwear, we present the Aries x ROA Capsule Collection.
Featuring two innovative reimaginings of the Italian outdoor brand’s very own ‘Andreas’ hiking boot, Aries injects its signature style throughout the construction. Restructuring the toe sector with asymmetrical developments, the collaborative steeze is accentuated via reflective detailing and 3MM accents. The Aries x ROA Andreas boot arrives in two colourways; all black and zebra ‘pony’ skin. It wouldn’t be a partnership with some sleek co-branding, sitting proudly on the internal high-top collar.
When it comes to the functionality of ROA’s hiking product, you can always expect the very best degree of quality and comfort. Equipped with trail-ready elements such as quick lacing, external metal hooks and Vibram® megagrip sole, these collaborative kicks perform just as good as they look!
The experimental and ironic essence of the Aries is perfectly captured within the materials used for the shoe, as well as the visual presentation. Shot by Kuba Ryniewicz, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of conventional portraiture, the campaign imagery sums up this unlikely alliance.
