As any astute reader of Field Mag knows, we’re a bit obsessed with gear. And not just any gear, but aesthetic gear that blends form and function and blurs genres. Portland, Oregon’s Danner is home to many such designs. In the past we’ve exalted the classics. Today, we’re focused on a new boot silhouette altogether—the 917 Series, inspired by the famed bookmaker’s storied history, but made for everyday adventure in the city and out.
Named for Danner’s heritage in making hardy boots for forest workers, and New York City’s most notable area code, the Vertigo 917 and Logger 917 are both functionally and visually mashups of an old school hiker and modern sneaker. We’ve been running the Logger 917 in both men's Port and women's Port models throughout Fall here in New York, and can confirm, they do the job (no matter what it may be).
