Actor Pedro Pascal has always walked the tightrope between rugged charisma and quietly radical fashion risk-taker, but at a Star Wars event in Japan, he didn't just walk the line, he stomped right through it.
From the waist up, The Last of Us star wore a relaxed, almost breezy look in a striped, slightly surrealist printed shirt and a pair of black knee length shorts.
But it's everything that's happening south of the knees that has got us in a flutter, Pedro opted for tall, heavy-duty brown leather boots with thick soles.
Almost reminiscent of a sci-fi costume infused with the high-fashion energy of avant-garde labels like Rick Owens or Craig Green.

Whether in Loewe's surrealist silhouettes or Bottega Veneta's slouchy tailoring, his wardrobe choices often subvert expectations around traditional red carpet attire for men, but without veering into costume or fancy dress territory.
These spectacular boots border on theatrical, and are the perfect fit for an actor who has so many iconic sci-fi roles under his belt, but teamed with shorts and a loosely unbuttoned shirt, they feel absolutely at-home.
We reckon he looks like a poet who travels around the galaxy and has taken a quick break to see what's happening on Earth this weekend. We're obsessed.

And who could forget the black leather mid-calf boots he sported during The Last of Us press tour?
Call them space boots, call them statement boots. Whatever the name, Pedro Pascal wears them better than anyone else could.
