High-end boot manufacturer Nicks and designer Carl Murawski are no strangers to collaboration, having previously combined their talents in popular designs for discerning fashion fans. Their trademark sensibilities around style and durability are present in their latest collaboration, the Nicks x Carl Murawski The Blackwood boots.

One glance at the new Nicks x Carl Murawski The Blackwood boots and Murawski’s commitment to the ethos of being stylish, rugged, and handsome is evident. Existing at the polar opposite of cheap, made-in-China products, they’re boots that scream quality and durability, with a price point to match.

The refined sense of style and durability of The Blackwood boots are matched by the painstaking craftsmanship that went into their creation. The standout feature is the exclusive overdyed English Bridle leather from Wickett & Craig, which gives the boots a truly distinct aesthetic appeal that allows for an evolving patina over time.

By tanning the boots first in Buck Brown, then finishing the process with a rich black overdye, the Nicks x Carl Murawski The Blackwood boots break in to reveal the brown tones beneath the black upper layer. The result is a gorgeously textured patina that blends black and brown leather, complemented by the brown sewing thread and brass hooks and eyes.

With a supergrip half sole, logger heel, and an eight-inch boot height for added lift, The Blackwood boots are another exceptional collaboration from two trusted brands.
