Shipyard Leather Boot, Black

From the makers of America's very first pair of casual sneakers comes a pair of Chelseas made to withstand a monsoon. The Shipyard boot is actually inspired by the hard-working, hardware-free boots worn by service men and women during the Vietnam war — specifically, when the U.S. Navy transferred their Training Operations from Coronado, California to Mare Island. So if they can handle rigorous military training downpour after downpour, they're more than ready for your inclement-weather commute.

We all have dreams. And sometimes they end up on a shelf. Seavees was quite literally put on a shelf for nearly 40 years before it was rediscovered at a second hand shop in Tokyo and brought back to life in California—the state where dreams come true, or in their case, where they get a second chance.
