While Maharishi’s mainline remains a favorite, their footwear program remains hit or miss. The latest to step out of the firm is the “Sequoia.” Employing herringbone tweed ankle panels, the boot transforms from mid to high top. Maharishi has worked with Po-Zu to make these shoes completely organic. And, they are down to the box. As a mid, the shoe gives that vibe. The unstructured look and feel of organic footwear. Unlike some competition, the shaping is a little more robust, and the added ankle portions set it apart on the style front. Retailing for $255, it’s above the fray in price point as well.

Via: Standard.

Detailed views of the “Sequoia” after the jump.

Following an earlier release of a black/white version, the Vans Chukka Boot LX pony gets dressed for fall in this brown make up. Black and brown checker patterning around the heel cup off sets the simplicity of the brown suede toe. The tan sole is a nice touch as well, off setting from the upper just enough while keeping the hues closely knit. Available now from Fuctard.

As the first shoe of the new year Ubiq presents a winter boot of the classic kind. The Carphill is inspired by a classic hiking boot and is sort of a premium version of that. It comes in brown leather, and black and beige suede. The simple aesthetic looks really nice and if you want a quality winter boot that also performs when it gets a little more rough, then this is the way to go!
Chapterworld has them available now. After the jump pictures of the other two colorways.

We continue to present you the latest Nike Skateboarding releases. Here are probably the two most special releases from the Nike SB Premium collection this year – the Dunk Mid Premium “Skate Mental” and the P-Rod x Eric Avar JihRod Boot.
The Dunk Mid  Premium “Skate Mental” comes in a white/black upper with green accents. The white is canvas and on the strap it has the “Heavy Mental” print and some other graphic printed on the side of the sneaker.

The P-Rod x Eric Avar JihRod Boot is probably the most special and at the same time unexpected release from Nike SB. The boot was designed by Eric Avar, the footwear design legend that brought you already the Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 and 2K5 and has played a major role in the Nike Basketball section. The boot comes in all black with a gum sole. It has a mixed upper of mesh and premium leather and features the signature of the designer on the tongue.
Both sneakers have just arrived at Goods Seattle. After the jump detailed pictures of both sneakers.

New Balance collaborates with Japanese store Another Edition and the outcome is certainly interesting. Based on the New Balance 574 the sneaker has been remixed into a boot. A sock continues out of the sneaker. The lining of the sneaker is the same that you also find on the box.
Definitely one of the most interesting collaborations we have seen from New Balance and a hot shoe for the ladies. After the jump more pictures.

After the Visvim Duck Boot we present you here now the Visvim Serra Talkeetna boot out of the Fall/Winter 2007 collection. Overall there is not much new about these – they come in black, brown and beige and feature colored laces. The real difference to previous models is the mid sole, which features the same design that we have seen earlier this season on the FBT’s. Definitely a nice touch, making these otherwise pretty classic boots more exciting. Pics via Reinforce.

It is not the first time that Japanese brands Mackdaddy and Mad Foot! collaborate on some shoes. For the Autumn/Winter collection of Mackdaddy they decided to go for a boot and created the Madmack 7.
The Madmack 7 features a nubuck upper, just like the New Era caps that we presented earlier on. It seems to be their material of choice this season. Nubuck also ensures that the boot will resist tougher weather conditions. The boot will be released in beige and brown and features multicolor panels. On the back hell there is an elephant pattern and midsole, inner lining and laces also come in each a different color.
The Mackdaddy x Mad Foot! Madmack 7 will be released end of November, so keep your eyes open. After the jump some more detailed pictures.

Timberland has now launched in Japan their classic 6″ Inch boot in a lux series. The series consists of three colorways – black, beige and brown. The premium boots have the Timberland logo on the side in gold and all lace holes are also in gold. Overall not too bad, if they would have just left the rhinestones off of the lowest lace holes. It looks like you can remove the rhinestone ring though. The boots are now available at Chapterworld.
