Article content . A rain boot seems about as fitting a footwear style for Vancouver as there could ever be. After all, it’s not called Raincouver for nothing as the city gets an estimated 146 cm of rain per year.
It seems perfectly fitting then that would name its new puddle-stomping footwear style the Vancouver Rain Boot. Billed as being both tactical and trend-savvy, the waterproof style comes in three colours: black, off-white, and an icy shade of blue. The new Vancouver Rain Boot joins for men and women from the Toronto-headquartered brand, which specializes in luxury outerwear, such as parkas and puffer jackets.
The new shoe release comes on the heels of another big announcement from Canada Goose as the company recently appointed Colombian-born, French fashion designer Haider Ackermann as the brand’s first creative director. The company says that in an effort to elevate the brand’s creative esthetic, Ackermann will work alongside CEO and chairman, Dani Reiss. In celebration of the new post, Ackerman and Canada Goose released a limited-edition hooded sweatshirt in support of Polar Bears International (PBI).
the organic cotton styled $295 sweater will have 100 per cent of all proceeds going to the non-profit organization to help fun research and innovation for protection of the Arctic. Supported in the campaign by longtime activist and actor Jane Fonda, the hoodie is sold out. $595.
