THE NORTH FACE Berkeley Boots

DTHE NORTH FACE is heading “Back to Berkeley” with these new hiking boots for the outdoor label’s Fall/Winter 2012 line. As a reference to the boots drawing inspiration from the brand’s inception in Berkeley in 1966, these unique hikers blend the label’s modern technical savvy and innovation with the very best style of yesteryear. True to early hiking boots, the Back to Berkeley is constructed from a thick canvas upper and features suede leather trim and contrasting rope-style hiker laces, but the outers are HydroSeal waterproofed and insulated with 100 grams of Primaloft synthetic insulation. These are not inky functional but stylish as well. While the boot isn’t expected to land until October, for $170, you can still get your pre-order in here at oki-ni.
