Denim on footwear is not a new concept and it keeps coming back every once in a while. Sometimes it works out well and otherwise it seems a little unnecessary. Here we take a look at the new Grenson for Tenue de Nimes Boots, mixing raw denim with brown leather on the upper with a leather outer sole – they came out beautiful.

“The ‘denim blue’ boot is inspired by an old infantry boot from around 1890. The material of choice, the fine Expresso Cyclone leather is combined with the roughness of British Millerain canvas, thus symbolizing the fundamental idea of this collaboration: old meets new, rugged meets sophisticated.”

Grenson offers the perfect brogue for the winter months. Their Archie Tan Brogue comes for Fall/Winter 2010 with a thick Vibram outer sole, making sure that your feet stay dry. The brown upper with wingtip details is also looking very nice. The shoe is now in stock at Tres Bien.

Tenue de Nîmes visits the Grenson factory in Rushden, Northamptonshire to document the first Grenson x Tenue de Nîmes shoe. “Tenue de Nîmes was amazed by all the stages of English craftsmanship to finally come together in this characteristic shoe. That is why we decided to do a video about the factory and the nearly 200 pit stops that our shoe had to make before it got delivered in Amsterdam.”
