Just in case your stompers break down.But given its signature hardy, trail-ready fixings, including its extra-chunky Air soles, I think you'll be fine.Treating a Nike boot like a fine ride sounds about right for Taller de Rafa, which translates to "Rafa's Workshop." The label, led by brother-sister duo Rafa and Genesis, makes streetwear infused with workwear and automotive references.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.These themes have even shown up in TDR's previous Nike collaborations.
