"When a piece of footwear history returns, it deserves a grand entrance-and that's exactly what Columbia Sportswear has orchestrated with the relaunch of the Bugaboot™ 1, the brand's very first shoe, designed in collaboration with the late, great Peter Moore. Limited to just 1,993 pairs worldwide, this rerelease bridges Columbia's pioneering outdoor heritage with one of sneaker culture's most influential design legacies."
"For context, Peter Moore's name holds serious weight in design circles. He's best known for creating Nike's original Air Jordan and Jumpman logos, and later served as Global Creative Director at adidas, where he redefined sports branding on a global scale. His influence was vast, but the Bugaboot™ 1 represented something more personal: the fusion of utility and artistry, blending Columbia's rugged, outdoor DNA with Moore's design precision."
""More than 30 years ago, my mother and I knew it was time to expand Columbia's footprint-and enter the footwear space," said Tim Boyle. "Peter was our first and only call. He and Gert shared an obsession with problem-solving through design, making him a natural partner to help launch this new chapter. Today, we honor Peter's immeasurable legacy and celebrate Columbia's own history in performance footwear alongside his sons, Hagen and Devin, who were instrumental in bringing this project to life.""
Columbia relaunches the Bugaboot™ 1 as a limited edition of 1,993 pairs that revives the brand's first shoe designed with Peter Moore. The project recreates the 1993 collaboration between Columbia founder Gert Boyle, CEO Tim Boyle, and designer Peter Moore to expand the company into performance footwear. Peter Moore's portfolio includes the original Air Jordan and Jumpman logos and a tenure as Global Creative Director at adidas. The Bugaboot™ 1 fuses utility and artistry, combining Columbia's rugged outdoor DNA with Moore's design precision. The release honors Moore's legacy and involves his sons, Hagen and Devin, in bringing the project to market. The original Bugaboot debuted alongside innovations like the Bugaboo™ 3-in-1 Jacket and marked a strategic move into footwear.
