And to ring in the month of December, the Montreal-based design company is further expanding its arsenal with its second team-up with Danner. To follow up on the two parties’ project from 2020, the brands have cooked up winter-ready variations of Danner’s Feather Light and Mountain Light — two hiking boots that originally made their debut to the market in the 1980s.Both options in this capsule are handcrafted in Portland, Oregon and come dressed with utilitarian and earthy ensembles. Construction-wise there are two major similarities between the two options including the top halves which are lined with waterproof GORE-TEX as well as the bottoms which are bolstered with Vibram 1276 Sierra outsole treading. The Feather Light boot supplies a balance of brown and olive green uppers, and comes outfitted with a debossed JJJJound hit on the lower heels, padded leather collars and bronze hardware. Its release sibling — the JJJJound x Danner Mountain Light boot — is molded with a one piece suede base layer that is marked with JJJJound branding on the lower lateral heels and a Danner hit on the tongues.Check out a closer look at each take in the gallery above, and note that the JJJJound site will be dropping both pairs on December 10 at 12PM EDT.In case you missed it, JJJJound and BRUT recently teamed up for a reclaimed workwear collection.
