x Steve McQueen Bullitt Cognac Chukka Boot

John Simons are proud to reintroduce a renowned mid-century style back into our stock, in the form of the Original Playboy x Steve McQueen chukka boot.

Steve McQueen notably wore the Original Playboy chukka in the film Bullitt, famous for one of the wildest car chases in world history through the streets of San Francisco and, not least, for the über-cool McQueen in the role of police detective Frank Bullitt. An iconic character that Steven Spielberg reportedly plans to bring to life in a new original film, with Bradley Cooper starring in the lead role as Frank Bullitt.

Originating in 1936 England, the Playboy chukka has left an indelible mark on the landscape of menswear, favoured by icons such musical legend Miles Davis. With its association to music, action and the informal elements of the style, the Playboy boot has become a symbol of the more transgressive edge of Ivy league dress since their inception.

The special edition of the Original Playboy chukka, developed in the new collaboration, is launched in suede in black, brown, and ’Bullitt’ cognac, with Steve McQueen’s name and emblem embossed on the side and back of the boot, and the emblem printed in the lining. 

Details:

  • Hand lasted construction
  • Finest Water resistant hunting suede
  • Two eyelet style
  • Natural crepe sole
  • Steve McQueen embossing

We recommend pairing the Playboys with a pair of our Ivy League trousers, and an Ivy League jacket for a look which would make Steve himself proud.

    A HOLLYWOOD FAVOURITE. WORN BY LEGENDS.

    The story of The Original Playboy shoes began in 1936 when English shoemaker Hutton in Northampton created a completely new shoe with a unique and patented crepe sole construction. The ‘Play-Boy’, as it was originally called. The construction was based on a thick 100% natural crepe sole attached to the upper, a signature piping sewn all around the shoe and an inch-high crepe foxing to complete the shoe.

    An iconic, and timeless, classic that has since been worn by royalties, legendary Hollywood actors, jazz musicians, rockabillies, hip-hoppers and a host of other good people around the world.
