【Needles x Sorel】No problem for the continuing "autumn rain"! Two types of waterproof shoes that stand out in purple

Based on SOREL's new icon "AMBLER," this is the first collaboration with NEEDLES featuring two waterproof shoes. These chukka boots and clogs incorporate iconic colors into a heritage design born in Canada. There is no doubt that these waterproof shoes will play a vital role in protecting your feet from rain and snow during walks in the city or outdoor activities this fall and winter.

Inheriting the design of the classic Caribou, the waterproof chukka boots

"Umbra Chukka Waterproof Boots" is a collaborative model that follows the distinctive rubber shell design of SOREL's representative winter boots "CARIBOU." Unlike previous models, it has been arranged in a short length that reaches the ankle.

By expanding the range of motion around the ankle, it reduces stress while walking. Its waterproof specifications allow you to walk without worrying about puddles or splashes on rainy days, making it a valuable item in a winter with much rain and snow. While maintaining a sturdy appearance, it is a pair that balances ease of movement for urban use.

Convenient for entering and exiting tents! Clog-type with a slip-on feel

"Umbra Waterproof Clog" features a slip-on style without a heel. You can smoothly put them on and take them off simply by stepping in, even when both hands are occupied with bags, without the need to bend down.

It's very useful for frequent entries and exits to the tent during camping, moving while car camping, or going out to the neighborhood when you want to avoid the hassle of putting on and taking off shoes.

The vibrant purple catches the eye. Papillon motif.

"The Umbra Chukka Waterproof Boots" and "Ambler Waterproof Clogs" both feature a design in purple and black. The base is a black body, accented with the vibrant purple (ultra violet), which is the brand color of NEEDLES, incorporated throughout.

Additionally, the familiar butterfly motif from the brand is a notable point. It's a look that merges the rugged form inherent to outdoor gear with a perspective unique to Japanese fashion brands.

Despite their heavy appearance, they offer a specifications that allows for comfortable walking.

The "Umbra Chukka Waterproof" series strips away the overly robust elements intended for extreme cold, and is restructured to fit modern lifestyles.

While maintaining the voluminous appearance characteristic of rubber shells, they provide a light and comfortable fit that is easy to walk on asphalt. They're easily matched with everyday clothing like sweatpants and denim, and their high versatility makes them great for wearing even on bad weather days.

The addition of vibrant coloring to functional waterproof shoes expands the possibilities for outings in the rain and fall/winter coordinating options with the two pairs of "Umbra Chukka Waterproof." They are recommended for those who want to enjoy their footwear without worrying about the weather.
