POP Trading Company x Blundstone: TAKE ON A TACTILE COLLABORATION
The new collaboration between POP Trading Company and Blundstone, released on July 22nd, stems from a shared vision of design and functionality. The result is a limited edition that merges the contemporary sensibility of the Dutch brand with over 150 years of experience from one of the world's most prestigious boot manufacturers.
Since its beginnings in Amsterdam, POP Trading Company has forged its own identity in the world of skateboarding, offering apparel and accessories that transcend the sport, with clean lines and a timeless aesthetic. This approach to product design aligns perfectly with that of Blundstone, the Australian brand that has been crafting its iconic Chelsea boots in Tasmania since 1870. Building on this heritage, the two brands decided to reinterpret one of Blundstone's most recognizable models. The collection includes three exclusive versions of the classic Chelsea boot, crafted from full-grain cowhide leather, a natural-finish leather that lends texture and unique character to each style. The inherent variations in leather make each pair unique.
This project required over three years of development, during which both teams experimented with different treatments and finishes until they found the perfect balance between innovation and tradition. The result retains Blundstone's characteristic functionality while incorporating new visual nuances without altering the identity of the original model.
Beyond the materials, what makes this collaboration so special is the natural connection between the two brands. Its founder, Ric Van Rest, has worn Blundstone boots for over twenty years, an experience that has helped shape a collection designed to accompany the wearer for many years to come.
More than just a collaboration, POP Trading Company x Blundstone demonstrates how an icon can evolve without losing its essence. It's a collection that combines tradition, premium materials, and a contemporary vision to offer a modern reinterpretation of the classic Chelsea boot.
