Paraboot - Michael BBR Leather Derby

Paraboot is a premium footwear brand made in France at a factory in Saint-Jean-de-Moirans, Isère. Paraboot began in Izeaux in 1908 and remains a family business, currently in the fourth generation.

Created by the second generation of the Richard-Pontvert family, the iconic Michael model appeared just after the war in 1945. At a time when materials were scarce, this product called for a simple set of specifications: 2 eyelets and a smaller yet strong lace, thick leather with a piped seam for protection, strong stitching, a thick and comfortable insole and a natural rubber sole. The name of this model was also inspired by the birth of Michel Richard – the current Chairman of the company – as it was fashionable to anglicise names at the time. From Michel to Michael: the legend was born.

This special edition Bleu Blanc Rogue style is crafted from a premium, buffed leather and features a deep red linen and French flag Paraboot label. It retails for €475 (approx. $950 NZD).
