A custom collaboration featuring vintage-inspired engineer boot design with modern Nicks build quality, offered exclusively in black Horween waxed flesh with a half sole construction that creates a distinctive leaner appearance.

- Unstructured toe will develop unique patina over time
- Unlined and unstructured shaft eliminates calf rubbing issues common in other engineer boots
- Quick break-in time with Horween waxed flesh leather
- Double row stitch down construction and multiple leather layers provide solid durability
- Half sole creates uninterrupted leather heel stack for cleaner aesthetic
- Familiar Nicks features like back stay and pull loop for easy on/off
- Dramatic patina development on black waxed flesh
Weakness
- Limited availability - collaborations typically sell out within hours
- Long lead time of approximately 5 months
