Engineered Garments x Easy Moc FW23

Engineered Garments x Easymoc - Surf Boot
Releasing Friday, November 24th, in-store and online at nepenthesny.com.

Engineered Garments and Maine-based Easymoc collaborate to introduce the Surf Boot. This functional footwear seamlessly blends two of Engineered Garments' Daiki Suzuki's inspirations: New England footwear and surf culture.

The Surf Boot draws inspiration from the iconic shearling footwear initially worn by Australian surfers in the 1960s. Beyond its practical benefits—such as water absorption, sand resistance, and warmth—the boot embodies the carefree, laid-back surfer lifestyle.

Daiki, an old surfer at New York City's Rockaway Beach year-round, wanted a boot that could blend West Coast mellowness with East Coast expertise, tapping Greg Cordeiro at Easymoc, one of the few remaining manufacturers of American handsewn footwear.
