For over a decade, Sprayground has been the defiant heartbeat of travel fashion, turning the humble backpack into a canvas of rebellion, art, and urban storytelling. Founded on the principle that functional gear shouldn’t forfeit flair, David BenDavid (DBD) built an empire from a single, iconic “Hello My Name Is” bag. Now, in a move that feels both audacious and inevitable, the brand is storming a new frontier: the frozen tundra of winter performance wear. With the launch of their first-ever snow boot, the “Arctic Boot,” Sprayground isn’t just releasing a product—it’s declaring that the entire landscape of winter fashion is ripe for a takeover.
The announcement, made on December 9, 2025, signals more than a product expansion; it’s a strategic conquest. Sprayground is planting its flag in the realm of extreme weather, applying its 15 years of refined craftsmanship and street-savvy aesthetic to a category often dominated by purely technical, style-agnostic brands. The Arctic Boot is the embodiment of this philosophy: a sleek fusion of 50% nylon, reinforced cow leather, and a stark white EVA midsole that looks as at home on a curated Instagram feed as it does on a snow-packed mountain path. It is, in essence, a piece of wearable confidence engineered to be waterproof, traction-ready, and unmistakably Sprayground—complete with the brand’s signature shark mouth motif.
This debut is not happening in a vacuum. It follows the brand’s seismic debut at London Fashion Week, a statement moment that solidified Sprayground’s transition from accessory powerhouse to full-fledged fashion arbiter. The energy from that runway—the fearless DNA embodied by figures like Phoenix Brown and Roxy Horner—flows directly into this arctic-inspired collection. Shot against the majestic, unforgiving backdrop of the Swiss Alps, the campaign frames winter not as a season to merely endure, but as an arena for exploration and expressive luxury. The coordinated gear, from geometric backpacks to standout ski goggles, presents a unified vision: winter as the ultimate stage for self-expression.
What Sprayground understands, and what the Arctic Boot exemplifies, is a fundamental shift in consumer demand. Today’s adventurer—whether navigating icy urban sidewalks or alpine slopes—refuses to be siloed. The binary choice between “high-performance” and “high-fashion” is obsolete. The modern wearer demands both: durability that doesn’t detract from design, and protection that serves as an extension of personal identity. By marrying a waterproof mesh lining and durable rubber outsole with its provocative design language, Sprayground is catering directly to this hybrid reality. They are building for a world where the journey from a downtown commute to a weekend getaway is seamless, and your footwear should be, too.
At a retail price of $250 USD, the Arctic Boot positions itself as a premium entry, a justified investment for a piece that promises to transcend seasonal trends. It is a tangible result of DBD’s lifelong immersion in streetwear and art—a childhood inspiration now scaled to meet global, real-world conditions.
As the December 21, 2025 release date approaches, the industry is watching. Sprayground’s move into winter footwear is a bold gambit that challenges entrenched players. It asks a compelling question: Why should winter gear be bland? In answering with the Arctic Boot, Sprayground reaffirms its core manifesto: that every functional item we carry and wear is an opportunity to make a statement. This winter, the statement isn’t just about staying warm and dry. It’s about arriving in style, no matter the storm. The forecast for cold-weather fashion just got a lot more interesting, and a lot more fierce.
