Portland, Ore.— Brandblack and Danner have joined forces to deliver a fresh spin on the fan-favorite Mountain Light silhouette that sets a new standard of design excellence. The L.A.-based performance footwear company’s attention to detail and commitment to innovation perfectly complement Danner’s unmistakable craftsmanship in a limited-edition boot that seamlessly transitions from urban cityscapes to untamed trails.
United by function, this street-inspired, modern homage to the Mountain Light perfectly blends rugged performance and innovation with classic Danner construction, making it the quintessential addition to all adventures. Features include a premium nubuck upper, quick-adjust lacing system and classic, waterproof Gore-Tex liner for the ultimate weather protection. Light, durable, hand-laid Vibram Wrap Tech with Megagrip covers the midsole to provide superior abrasion resistance and unparalleled grip and flexibility with each step, whatever the terrain.
“Brandblack is thrilled to co-design a product with Danner, a brand with such a storied footprint in the outdoor footwear category, and create something both classic and familiar, yet unique and contemporary,” says Billy Dill, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Brandblack. “We combined our innovative Vibram Wrap Tech rubber bottom with Danner’s premium, heritage silhouette. The boot has all the quality materials Danner is known for including a waterproof GTX membrane and lightweight, flexible sole, making this boot equal parts rugged and walkable.”
“We were drawn to Brandblack because of their keen sense for re-envisioning a classic in a way that keeps the essence of the original, but in a whole new style reinterpreted by industry legend David Raysse who magically fuses fresh aesthetics with the latest technology in footwear,” states Yoji Kaneda, Danner’s Director of Lifestyle Footwear. “It’s hard to blend style and function as seamlessly as Brandblack does. They are extremely good at pulling innovation and design inspiration together in a very harmonious way.”
