Drawing inspiration from your favourite classic casual shoes, Native Shoes have taken a new twist by creating them in the lightest, most comfortable material available. The Vancouver based footwear company combines the best of technology and great design. Using a unique, low-emission manufacturing process Native Shoes are made from foam-injection molded-EVA, a super lightweight, durable and comfortable material. They are animal bi-product free, waterproof and odor-resistant making a shoe you can slip on for a walk or throw them in your backpack for a trip to the beach. In their first collaboration Native has teamed up with Marc Jacobs to create a limited edition boot just in time for the winter weather. The limited edition “Jimmy Boot” is exceptionally light and completely waterproof down to the waxed laces, it features a laminated Japanese denim upper on a molded EVA outsole with a stabilizing insole. The Jimmy is the ultimate all-weather boot. Available in sizes 6-12 and priced under $100, the Jimmy will be exclusively available starting September 8, 2011 at Marc Jacobs boutiques worldwide or online at marcjacobs.com
