Biker boots have been bubbling under the trend surface for some time now, but thanks to Balenciaga and its Winter 2023 show the motocross item is set to become a big cold-season hit. A case in point is the Our Legacy Bionic Boot, which has just dropped ahead of the curve.
The style is rather “out-there” for Our Legacy, a brand known for high-quality and altered takes on every day staples. In recent times, the brand has become more experimental, releasing the likes of its Strainer Shoe and imperfectly-woven crochet bags. The Bionic Boot continues the imprint’s risk-taking, adding a retrofuturistic techno twist to its aesthetic.
Crafted from black Spanish leather with a contrasting material for paneling, the knee-high silhouette takes biker cues and works in formal sneaker elements. Our Legacy does so by detailing the generous vamp component, while also adding a Vibram outsole to match its usual sneaker output.
YKK zip closure ensures all-round quality, while a lack of exterior branding makes these perfect for keeping a low profile, in case Balenciaga’s more overt branding isn’t your thing.
Our Legacy’s Bionic Boot retails for £670 GBP/€750 EUR/$830 USD, and it can be bought online or in-store now.
