Here we have one of the most interesting releases to come from Japanese sneaker brand Ubiq – the Outdoor Collection. The first shoe to be released in the collection is the Qwerty Duck Boot. The Qwerty sneaker was influenced in terms of colors and materials by the classic duck boot and thus feature a premium suede/leather upper and gum sole.
