<div><br/></div><p>Specially created for the soldiers joining the elite french foreign legion - a shoe that would traverse through mud, sand and brush - the <a href="https://palladiumboots.com.ph/" target="_blank">Palladium</a> Pallabrousse boot gets a reissue to celebrate the brand’s 75th anniversary. Built in 1947, it was one of the first boots to be made of fast-drying canvas. Sturdy, light and water resistant, the boot’s design became timeless and is wearable today as it was on the battleground many years ago.</p><div><br/></div><p>Joe Khalifa, Brand Marketing Director for Palladium says, “It began as a military boot before moving through the active, outdoor world as a utility boot for hiking and exploring.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2aa878c0-bf78-4b7c-b7ed-1fee9828aa33_palladium_landscape final.gif" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div></div><p>Palladium Philippines whisked members of the press on the Luxe Bus for a comfortable ride to SM Clark Pampanga where they opened their first branch.

So, of course, sustainability features heavily in many of our products today, but it all stems back from the nineties when we were recognized for being early adopters and early leaders in eco-consciousness.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/44bd6c35-080b-4f47-a741-69985c759d56_pallabrousse 75th black.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The Pallabrousse 75th Black<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Courtesy of Palladium Philippines  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Palladium Philippines treated the press to experience a Kapampangan menu by celebrity chef Claude Tayag.
