Palladium Trooperlite Grit Zip Black/Black 04985-001 are men's ankle boots inspired by the heritage of the Trooper line and designed for everyday use in the city. This model combines a rugged, utilitarian character with modern lightness, making it suitable as urban leather boots, high-top outdoor sneakers, lifestyle footwear and casual everyday boots. The Black/Black colourway highlights the versatile look and makes the shoes easy to pair with jeans, joggers or cargo trousers.
The upper is made from 100% leather, giving the shoe a solid appearance and a durable character. The high profile stabilises the ankle, while the combination of classic lacing and a side zip allows for a better fit and quicker entry. The model features a lightweight EVA-based outsole with a PVC welt finish, offering reduced weight and comfort during everyday activities. The manufacturer has also used a removable insole, a polyester lining and practical details such as a heel pull loop, a tongue pull loop, a metal zip on the inner side, round eyelets, an upper D-ring hook and square laces.
Also noteworthy are the distinctive moccasin-style toe line and the refined branding details: woven labels on the side and tongue, an embossed logo, a branded rivet and a logo print on the insole covering. The 34 mm heel gently raises the shoe's profile, while the standard fit supports comfort during everyday wear. Palladium Trooperlite Grit Zip are lightweight men's ankle boots for those looking for a combination of a leather finish, urban style and functional solutions.
