BIKER ZIP UP BOOTS

As I’ve entered my early thirties, I’ve started to think, “Alright, maybe it’s time to show a bit more maturity, too.” But what exactly gives off that grown-up appeal, anyway? It’s still something I’m figuring out myself. That said, I’ve noticed my taste shifting.
Lately, I find myself drawn less to overly casual pieces and more to items with a refined, put-together feel.

That’s exactly why the recently released nonnative BIKER ZIP UP BOOTS COW LEATHER caught my attention.

Based on the brand’s long-standing ZIP UP BOOTS, this new model updates the design with biker-inspired elements.
While biker boots can sometimes feel heavy or overly tough, this pair avoids that route. Instead, the design stays true to nonnative’s signature balance, offering a strong presence without feeling aggressive.

One of the first things you notice when wearing them is the slim shaft.
Despite being boots, they sit neatly around the leg, pairing effortlessly with nonnative’s classic slim pants as well as wider silhouettes. The overall look remains clean and composed, adding subtle sharpness to your outfit without overpowering it.

The upper is made from smooth cow leather that feels supple from the very first wear, avoiding the stiffness often associated with new boots. A side zip on the inside makes them easy to put on and take off, which quickly turns them into a pair you instinctively reach for.

As you wear them over time, the leather softens and molds to your feet, becoming uniquely yours.
For anyone who feels a bit hesitant about wearing boots, this pair offers an approachable entry point that still delivers a sense of maturity and polish.

Please note that the fit runs slightly large, so we recommend choosing a size approximately 1 to 1.5 cm smaller than your usual sneaker size.
