A visit to Mumbai’s Phoenix Mall alerted me
to the fact that the hip brand Superdry is coming to town. For those not in the
know, Superdry is a cool Japanese streetwear label. Wait a moment! Is it Japanese?
Well, they have Japanese lettering next to the English label….. Actually if you
want to make your label super-cool, just make it look like it originates from
Japan. That’s what a clever company did with Superdry, channeling American
streetwear through Japan’s cool-cred when it has its origins in good old UK!
However, Superdry is hip; with or without
the Jap lettering. And its pricey too; think of price points somewhere around
Diesel’s and you’ll get the picture. Besides clothes, Superdry does really
wicked accessories (actually I think their accessories are better than their
clothes). Recently on a holiday trip, I managed to get my hands on Superdry’s
New Trawler Boots. These are the boots of my dreams!
These shoes are great if you want big boots
with a rocker/pioneer feel. The leather is great; there is a deliberate
distressed feel to it which is subtle enough but not overpowering. The
detailing is great: striped lining, dark soles, button-down tabs….The shoelaces
are also leather and extra long so you can lace the shoe incomplete and then
tie the laces around your lower calves, above the ankle. The best way to wear
these is to tuck your jeans (keep them straight, narrow or skinny) inside the
boots. Though I wore these appropriately on an American Wild West outing, these are equally perfect for a wet day since the rains are around the corner. You can stomp around without getting your jeans dirty in the muck!
