The Apollo Chukka is a lightweight boot by Native Shoes, an environmentally conscious footwear brand based in Vancouver, Canada. Made with an EVA outsole, the design is waterproof, odor-resistant, shock-absorbent, washable, BPA- and  phthalate-free, and just really comfortable. The upper and the laces are crafted from Microfiber, and the gusset from Superbuck, a vegan alternative to nubuck. The toe is perforated and cut at a diagonal for a contrasting, futuristic look. Available online from Native, the Apollo Chukka comes in nine colorways, each priced at $85.
