KangaROOS x Bobby’s Gin Ultimate

Bobby’s Dry Gin Founders, the brothers David Blom & Sebastiaan van Bokkel sharing their passion not only for good gin tonic but also for fashion and sneakers.
Just like the members of KangaROOS do. So, it came that David met Rajko from KangaROOS Netherlands one day and they recognized they have a lot in common.
They both found out that they share the same roots and history. Both of their grandfathers came from Ambon and were soldiers between ‘45 and ‘49 for the Dutch army in Indonesia.

Bobby’s Dry Gin is named after David’s and Sebastian’s grandfather, Jacobus Alfons, known to his friends and family as Bob or Bobby.
The man who unwittingly created our recipe of Dutch Courage and Indonesian Spirit.

The shoe is based on different colours which is all taken from the rich history of Bobby’s Dry Gin and the Netherlands. Green from the leaves of an orange, the leaves from rose hip, a green tone from the green trunk that the soldiers had for their belongings when they came from Indonesia. The Brown colour reflects the tone from the cloves or spices such as pepper, juniper and others. The blue, green and yellow colours also reflects to the seals of the Bobby's Jenever, Bobby's Gin and the newest Bobby's Pinang Raci Gin Bottle.

The KangaROOS x Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin model is based on ROOS successful silhouette, the Ultimate and comes with 3 different laces with printed tips and a dustbag with cloves. The KangaROOS x Bobby’s Ultimate with its printed insole is handcrafted in Germany in the Hummel & Hummel shoe manufactory.
