Per Hypebeast,
The “Team Gold” model…includes a gum sole as an extra earth tone accent. Contrasting “GORE-TEX” embroidery graces the rear lateral side of each shoe, complete with a branded strip of technical fabric at the tongue. The tall 10th iteration offers a taller boot-like style, with an all-black upper and inner bootie set atop a matching outsole, complete with tonal “GORE-TEX” embroidery to match.

The white-and-blue high-top boasts a zippered bootie that’s both fashionable and functional in bad weather. The Army green low-top gets a layered ballistic nylon and full-grain leather.

Gore-Tex clothing collabs are all the rage these days, but it was Danner that first used it way back in 1978. The Oregon-based footwear company recently unveiled the Danner Light 40th Anniversary Edition boot to celebrate four decades partnership.
