PARABOOT MICHAEL- Nubuck gringo

Symbolizing French pride, PARABOOT originated from a village at the foot of the Alps in the late 19th century. It was personally developed and designed by the brand's founder, Rémy-Alexis Richard. PARABOOT not only insists on traditional shoemaking craftsmanship but is also the world's first shoe manufacturer to produce both shoes and rubber soles.

MICHAEL

A historic shoe from the century-old brand, produced in 1945 and named after the founder's son, Michael Richard. It became highly popular in Italy during the 1980s. which brought it back into the fashion spotlight in Paris, the fashion capital of the world. Its features, such as excellent water resistance, wide shoe wings, and solid heft, offer a wearing experience distinct from traditional formal shoes, adding a touch of wildness. Through mutual recommendations within the fashion circle at that time, MICHAEL not only saved the PARABOOT shoe factory from disappearing but also became a symbol of the brand.
