This Australian Footwear Icon Is Coming For Your Weekend Wardrobe

• Blundstone’s new #2429 Lace Ups fuse rugged utility with a city-ready silhouette, reimagining the iconic boot for modern life.
• Designed in Tasmania for all-terrain wear, these lace-ups feature water-resistant leather, a contoured toe and understated versatility.
• More than 150 years on, Blundstone continues to blend function and fashion, making this release one of its most wearable yet.

Blundstone is a brand of innovative contrasts. Since 1870, the Tasmanian footwear brand has excelled in fit-for-purpose designs that are as appropriately placed on the farm as they are a fashion statement on the dancefloor.

Certainly, where Blundstone has managed to stake its claim as Australia’s premier footwear brand is in its commitment to innovation and an innate ability to reflect the changing times. After more than 150 years, this enduring ethos continues to drive the company today, putting boots on the feet of Australians as a Tassie institution. And that carries on with the brand’s newest release for 2025.

Durability, simplicity, unmistakable style, the #2429 Originals Series Lace Ups culminate in everything Blundstone stands for, threading this Australian brand’s ethos into a refined lace-up silhouette made for today’s modern adventures.

Since the 1990s, Blundstones have been the unofficial uniform for musicians and punters on the Australian live music scene, proudly scuffed and battered, yet still standing strong in front of festival stages and pub band rooms. Much like in London or New York, where functional boots quickly become shorthand for a certain kind of democratic cool, Blundstones have walked the line between hardwearing utility and quiet confidence for decades.

Still inspired by Blundstone’s home of Tasmania, where the weather can turn on a dime and the terrain demands the real deal, the #2429 is made for the new kind of everyday: Original, functional, and unmistakably Australian. A confident addition to Blundstone’s range of functional Chelsea boots, the #2429 reflects the brand’s continued commitment to high-quality fashion ingredients suitable for all situations.

As you’d expect, the Lace Ups come in premium water-resistant leather, a contoured toe, and a city-savvy profile that nods to the brand’s celebrated roots without being strictly bound by them. Our personal favourites come in the pre-worn Clay colourway for its versatile yet contemporary design.
