The latest sneaker brand to offer a duckboot didn’t just take one of their standby silhouettes and integrate a waterproof mudguard. The new Supra Douglas could be seen as such a takeoff on the recently released Skyboot, but playing chicken-and-egg with these two neglects the fact that both are heavily influenced by classic styles like the immortal Timberland 6″. It’s that shape and sole paired with the duck toe that makes the Douglas unique, a wheat and navy pair offering a nice twist on the classic golden tan look we’ve come to so strongly associate with Timbs. That pair features a sherpa lining where black and grey/black editions offer weather-resistant neoprene, and you can see all three in greater detail after the jump before you grab one straight from Supra.

Five new Skyboots and three Douglas designs have just become available at select Supra stockists, so click through to see more angles and let us know which pair reigns supreme.

Supra’s first boot design dropped last winter and they managed to avoid simply winterizing one of their popular sneakers in favor of the rugged yet classy Henry. We’ve yet to see any previews from that model for the upcoming cold weather, but the crown brand is indeed poised to release two new boot designs, one of which is all-new and the other a revision of the label’s biggest hit. The Supra Douglas boot is serious about keeping you warm and dry with waterproof uppers, metal eyelets and corded laces, while the Skyboot slaps a moc toe, metal eyelets and a chunky sole on Chad Muska’s initial Supra signature. Click through to see more angles of the colorways slated for later this year and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via HS
