agnès b. and Paraboot are combining their expertise in a collaboration made in France
Designed to be worn by everyone, this capsule collection combines the authenticity and elegance of Paraboot with the creativity and free spirit of agnès b. Each piece is carefully designed and made in France, reflecting the two brands’ shared commitment to sustainable and responsible fashion.
For the occasion, agnès b. is revisiting the unisex ‘Imbattable’ boot, adorned with two lace options - black and ecru - and a piece of leather embossed with ‘b.’ stitched and dyed.
Created in the 1950s by Paraboot, this model was quickly adopted by the butchers of Les Halles, who appreciated its walking comfort and sturdiness.
Translation: "Where it all began..."

Les Halles de Paris ... this is the story of agnès b.! The "true" ones know the story of Rue du Jour, the first agnès b. boutique and its lamb sign. But also its creator, her minimalist-chic style, and her "Rock'n'roll attitude."
Agnès recalls:
‘We moved to 3 rue du Jourin 76, just as they demolished the Pavillon Baltard. It was a former butcher’s shop in a very lively district in the heart of Paris’.
Les Halles de Paris... this is also the story of Paraboot and the pair of Imbattable shoes on the feet of artisans, indestructible and irreplaceable.
agnès b. has works with the Isère-based manufacturer on this exclusive model, at the crossroads of each brand’s identity.
This limited-edition release keeps Paraboot's legendary technical improvements, such as the Norwegian welt on its iconic models, or the use of rubber soles, for maximum durability and comfort. The agnès b twist is introduced by agnès b. logo on the ankle and the white shoe laces.
Designed to last the test of time, these limited edition models are unisex and available in 2 to 8,5
The collaboration goes further :
a shirt, socks and a leather key ring made with leather fall from the boot complete this collection.
