An exclusive collaboration
The association of two French brands with a heritage marked by artisanal know-how French brings to life a unique and exclusive collaboration.
Inspired by the respective expertise and heritage of Pyrenex and Paraboot, this collaboration gives birth to unique creations, marked by a mutual commitment to quality products. It embodies the French art of living, between heritage and modernity, imbued with the authenticity and heritage of both brands.
Two stories, one common DNA
Founded in 1908, Paraboot is a French shoe brand created by Rémy Richard-Ponvert in the Alps. Initially specializing in leather shoes, it quickly distinguished itself by introducing natural rubber soles, inspired by a trip to the United States. Today, Paraboot is particularly renowned for its robust and timeless models, designed to withstand demanding conditions, both in the mountains and in urban environments.
For its part, Pyrenex has been manufacturing products of incomparable lightness since 1859 thanks to its exceptional French down, sublimated in its Saint-Sever factory. The company has proudly displayed the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” label since 2020.
Two iconic pieces revisited
Two houses with exceptional know-how celebrate their role in the golden age of French mountaineering with pieces carefully designed to withstand the elements in style: Avoriaz shoes and the Audoubert down jacket.
The meeting between the technical and refined world of Pyrenex and the art of footwear of Paraboot results in pieces designed to face the elements with style. Every detail of this collection has been carefully thought out, from the robustness of the materials to the sophistication of the lines.
On the one hand, the new version of the Avoriaz shoe , inspired by mountain models from the 60s and 70s, combines smooth and grained leathers, combined with a recycled rubber sole.
On the other hand, the Audoubert down jacket , Pyrenex's flagship piece, was designed at the time in collaboration with the mountaineer Louis Audoubert, technical advisor to the brand in the 1970s. Today, its revisited reissue with Paraboot brings timeless elegance, combining modernity and heritage.
