Gant unveils second collaboration with Diemme featuring footwear and apparel

Iconic sportswear brand Gant has renewed its partnership with Italian footwear maker Diemme to produce a limited-edition collection of footwear and apparel.

For this collaboration, the two heritage brands have merged to push American sportswear and artisanal Italian mountaineering into new territory with Diemme's first ever apparel collaboration.

The five-piece unisex collection features a glossy down puffer, lined with neon pink and a heavyweight washed jersey hoodie, which embodies the utilitarian ethos of the collaboration with bold, oversized proportions.

Much like the first drop, the duo reproduced Diemme’s iconic Roccia Vet hiking boot, which features subtle design elements from GANT’s heritage alongside Diemme’s mountaineering DNA. The boot comes in two new colourways with a distinct rubber guard in hot neon pink and a tonal all-black, as well as the popular persimmon orange colourway from last year's collaboration.

Christopher Bastin, Global Creative Director of Gant said: "The opportunity to be the first brand ever to collaborate with Diemme on apparel is super exciting. The oversized shiny puffer compliments Diemmes' hiking heritage. The chocolate brown exterior and hot pink interior of the jacket pair works perfectly with the new boot colourways for a look that pays homage to savvy Italian ski wear from the 1980s."

The limited-edition collection will be available to purchase online and in select retailers on 11 November.
