Few companies like to collaborate as much as Portland’s Poler does. From Ninja Suits and surf adventure-specific bikes, we’ve seen it all. And yet, there’s still more to come no doubt. Case in point, the Original Hiker. This classically-styled hiking boot comes by way of collaboration with Ohio-based Rocky and sports a striking Vibram ripple sole and three equally eye-catching colorways.
Based on Rocky’s own Original Hiker—a damn handsome boot in it’s own right that’s certainly worth saving for—the Poler edition boot features a full leather upper with padded leather collar and antiqued brass hardware, and is constructed with a legendary Goodyear welt to ensure the boot lasts as long as it should. A removable Terra Suspension insole adds comfort if you like, too.
Though the blue color way reminds us of the ever sought after Paraboot Trekking Boot, black is our choice for this newly launched Poler collab.
