As men, there are only really four types of footwear you’re ever going to slip on or lace up: slippers, sandals, sneakers or boots. While plenty of brands claim to have combined the features of the best boots, best sneakers and best slippers, we’ve never seen anyone deliver on that promise like OBVS has with their new ADPT 3-in-1 Footwear setup. The patent-pending setup is being billed as “the world’s first climate adaptable sneaker/boot system,” and based on what we’ve seen so far, we have no reason to argue. When you break it down to its component parts, the OBVS ADPT system consists of an ultra light compression recovery slipper and an ultra breathable, drainable wet-dry city/trail sneaker that can be Voltron-ed together to create an all weather, high-traction sneaker boot that, thanks to quality construction and a Vibram setup, can be worn anywhere. If there’s a single piece of footwear more suited for travel purposes we have yet to see it. Even better, you can pick up your own pair for almost half-off at a special early backer price.
