On April 1st, 2019, we unveiled a special made-to-order (MTO) version of Norman’s classic Decon Chukka on our Instagram account.
This exclusive edition featured an upper crafted from luxurious pebble grain leather and a robust Vibram Commando Sole, deviating from the traditional Box Calf and leather sole.
The response was overwhelming, with a surge of private messages, comments, likes, and MTO requests.
Designed with two-eyelet lacing and a unique silhouette, the Boulevardier Chukka Boot offers an unparalleled blend of style and comfort. Its Vibram Gumlite Commando Sole ensures it is the perfect companion for your sophisticated urban explorations.
For this exclusive make-up, we selected Repello suede from Charles Stead in black and reno grain calf with a black and grey handmade patina. The boot looks nearly black in most lights but the layers of grey on top of the grain calf shine through when under some sun.
The Boulevardier is more than just a boot; it is a lifestyle inspired by one of our esteemed clients, Mr. Prieto in NYC, who embodies the true essence of a Boulevardier.
But what defines a Boulevardier? A Boulevardier is a gentleman who savors life's pleasures while strolling through the city's streets. He is the urban sophisticate, whose accomplishments afford him the luxury of time to observe and appreciate the nuances of society.
A Boulevardier doesn't merely select his attire hastily. He plans with precision, choosing outfits that suit his destination, the weather, the season, or even the quality of light.
His journeys, whether to a fine restaurant, an art gallery, a museum, or a serene city bench with a picturesque view, are meticulously curated yet open to the spontaneity of discovery.
More crucial than the destination is the journey itself.
The Boulevardier cherishes the path he takes, open to surprises, eager to learn, meet new people, and draw inspiration for future adventures.
The Boulevardier Chukka Boot is available in our Group-made-to-order through Tuesday, July 30th. Secure your pair by using the code GMTODEPOSIT at checkout to place a 50% deposit. The remaining balance will be collected shortly before delivery.
Indulge in the luxury of the Boulevardier Chukka Boot and redefine your urban explorations with a touch of artisanal craftsmanship.
