Christopher Raeburn has joined forces with explorer footwear brand Palladium for spring/summer 2018.

A designer known for his reclaimed military fabrics, Raeburn’s design manifesto revolves around the notion of “remake, recycle, reduce” – sustainability is at the core of the brand.

Embracing this aesthetic alongside its own bold and audacious attitude, Palladium has launched its most forward-thinking collection to date with two separate product stories.

Each piece in the “dual-gender” collection incorporates details such as mesh-like silhouettes, recycled fabrics and emergency orange pull-tubs into future-sport revisions of Palladium’s classic silhouettes.

The first collection – Papa Recrow – offers up the Pampa CR boot available in two iterations and five colourways.

One version is available in a combination of recycled rubber with fused mesh panelling and a range of shades including lunar rock grey, olive with black highlights, or all-over black, while the other is crafted from camo-print organic cotton with leather highlights.

The second collection – Papa Recamo – works from the original Palladium Pampa silhouette with two new collaborative styles for the new season.

The first, the Recamo is presented in a camo-print organic cotton upper available in vapour grey or charcoal with all trim made from recycled PET (or plastic bottles); a rubber outsole and branding patches use up to 20 per cent recycled compounds.

Another style is the Pampa Repeat, which has a PET PU coated leather upper and a rubber outsole plus rubber branding patches made using recycled compounds. All trim details, including the pull-tab, are made from recycled PET fabric.

The new collection costs between £100-£170 and is available to buy from palladiumboots.com now.
