Paraboot x Universal Works

Paraboot x Universal Works returns for a second chapter, built on a shared approach to doing things properly — with care, and attention to detail. This time under the tagline “La Beauté Dans L’Imperfection” — the beauty in the imperfect.

The focus shifts to the Thiers, an enduring Paraboot style first introduced in the 1960s. Named after the French city, it was originally designed to sit between sport and city — “sport/ville”.

Universal Works chose it for exactly that balance. Easy, slightly preppy, with a boat-shoe feel, but grounded in comfort and everyday practicality.
