UGG has mastered the art of fusing style and support — that’s why its footwear options have become fashion and streetwear staples with a massive fan club. But as new aesthetics emerge, the Southern California footwear brand introduces new UGG innovations where comfort and flair meet. The label’s offerings are renowned as no-fuss staples, but they can also be refined, tactile or even feature terrain-friendly elements, like the JLD Boot, which puts the “UGG” in rugged.The JLD Boot is an ultra-light silhouette, characterized by a Super Critical Foam midsole (a brand new compound for UGG Men’s) and a removable spat design for customizable styling options. Maintaining UGG’s core DNA, the model is effortlessly adaptable in both the performance and streetwear categories. Additional technical features include a Twin Face lining for extra warmth, a PEBAX plate and a Vibram XS Trek Evo outsole for traction — making the boot one of UGG’s most technical designs yet.The goal was to design a boot that could withstand the wear and tear of city streets for those who like to make statements, but that fit like a sneaker. Striking a fine balance between form and function, the JLD required advanced outsole innovation to assure solid performance and a range of movement. These technical aspects are juxtaposed by engaging visual elements, like heavy-duty metal eyelets and an earth-toned color palette that complements gorpcore-driven looks.Engineered for individuals who constantly push the envelope, the JLD Boot comes in neutral Black and Chestnut colorways and is available for $300 USD.
