Danner and Madhappy have come together on a new footwear collaboration.
According to the Pacific Northwest-based heritage boot brand, it has teamed up with the Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand on two colorways of Danner’s signature Mountain Light boot.
For this tie-up, the boot is created with a durable suede and is available in a chestnut and punch pink color in men’s and women’s sizing. Danner noted in a release on Friday that every pair of its Mountain Light boots are built in Portland, Ore., using its one-piece leather design to eliminate openings in the tongue area to help keep out debris and water.
Plus, each pair features Danner’s stitchdown construction to offer increased stability underfoot paired with a classic look. The style also features Vibram Kletterlift outsoles and waterproof Gore-Tex liners.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Madhappy to infuse their flare into a classic like our Mountain Light boot,” Yoji Kaneda, lifestyle director for Danner Footwear, said in a statement. “From trail to town, these boots are both as functional and stylish as it gets. Grab a pair before they’re gone.”
Noah Raf, cofounder of Madhappy, added that this collaboration makes sense since the brand has “always found natural synergy with durable products intended for outdoor use.”
“We were thrilled to partner with the Danner team to create our own iteration of such an iconic boot that’s built for getting outside – whether that’s on a hike in nature or in an urban environment,” Raf said.
This launch comes just days after Danner released a variation of the Light II boot with Snow Peak. The Light II, a classic Danner style, features a waterproof Gore-Tex liner, Vibram Megagrip outsole, and a fire-resistant leather upper, with a Snow Peak logo on the heel and a metal lace guard. Other past collaborations include Danner’s tie-up with Patta, Ball and Buck, Huckberry and Filson.
This isn’t the first shoe collaboration for Madhappy, either. The fashion brand has previously worked with Vans and Ugg.
The Madhappy and Danner Mountain Light boot, which retails for $440, is now available at Madhappy.com and Danner.com.
