Details

This pair of men's 'Jugo' boots were designed by the Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons for their Homme Plus Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Inspired by traditional Mexican Guarachero boots, this pair has been re-imagined with an overly extended toe, fitted style of ankle and elastic sided gussets. Runway models paraded the boots for Comme des Garçons' 2015 Spring/Summer Paris show with military-inspired jackets and bermuda shorts infused with colourful prints and tones, reminiscent of naval uniforms.

Guarachero boots are said to have originated in Matehuala, Mexico and are a popular choice of footwear for men in parts of Mexico and the southern states of America, like Texas and Oklahoma. They are also associated with the 'tribal guarachero' electronic music and dance subculture. While Guaracheros have also been recognised as a coincidental revival of the Medieval poulaine - the pointy-toed shoe favoured by young countrymen as an expression of their virility during the Middle Ages - they are traditionally shorter and less curled at the toe than what we can see in this particular example.
