Rocketbuster Boots

Purpose:

Get: Custom cowboy boot collectors
Who: Have never seen a pair of boots they don’t like 
To: Go where no other boot collector has gone before
By: Collaborating with Rocketbuster on the first ever Chinese dragon boots

The Idea:

Nevena Christi is the brilliant boss lady of Rocketbuster Boots in El Paso, Texas, who designs, crafts and markets over-the-top cowboy boots. I am one of her devoted collectors. When she asked me a few years back what I wanted for my next pair of boots, I blurted out: Chinese dragons!

Where did that come from? Who knows. Unphased—she’d already done koi fish, pin-up girls and bucking broncs—Nevena spent the next four months designing these incredible hand-carved, hand-painted beauties. The way the dragon curls around the leg until its grimacing face sits front and center on the top of the foot is brilliant. Little crystals add sparkle. And my initials on the heels are way cool. Wowzers!

So what’s next?
