Paraboot and Universal Works Release Second Collaborative Shoe Collection

French footwear brand Paraboot and British clothing label Universal Works have launched their second collaborative collection, titled 'Part Two.' The release centers on the Thiers silhouette, a Paraboot design from the 1960s, updated for summer 2026 with a lighter, unlined construction using natural leather. The collection includes two color options, coffee and sand, and features a removable kiltie fringe. A small capsule of apparel, including jackets, T-shirts, and a bandana, accompanies the shoes. Universal Works founder David Keyte emphasized the partnership is built on shared values of craftsmanship and a literal interpretation of their 'La Beauté Dans L'Imperfection' philosophy, celebrating the unique variations in handmade goods.
