New England Swagger From Seattle
By Bobby Riley | December 21st, 2009
New England based footwear company Alden founded in 1884 by Charles H. Alden in Middleborough, Massachusetts has been doing some noteworthy collaborations lately.  One that stands out is with Blackbird Seattle an opinion leading purveyor of fashion from the North West. They have taken a strong footwear concept and brought in some beautiful imagery & nostalgia that evokes an emotion that clearly transcends the product.  The Christopherson’s Creamery Milkman Boot was inspired by the shiny simple uniform boots that many delivery drivers wore back in day when milk and groceries were delivered.  Blackbird imagined the boot worn by the local milkman from Christopherson’s Creamery located on Market Street in Seattle, which is near their shop today.  From someone who loves both New England And Seattle, I will be proudly wearing these boots as a gift from a good friend this holiday season.  A little role playing and I will convince my wife I am the milkman too.
