Area 51

This edition of the Thiers by Paraboot for Norse Projects pays tribute to the Kanonbådsskure — the historic gunboat hangars in Copenhagen’s Holmen district. Built in 1820 to store Royal Danish Navy vessels, these timber-framed buildings now house architecture studios and the Norse Projects design studio.

Based on a 1960s Paraboot silhouette, the design is re-iterated with leather laces and the “Rocade” outsole — a lightweight rubber sole made in France, carefully selected from the Paraboot archives.

Crafted with a suede upper, leather lining, and finished with Blake stitching, the Thiers offers a streamlined traditional last with a slightly short and rounded toe.
