The campaign features notable figures from across the globe.
It highlights National Geographic Channel correspondent Mariana van Zeller, Canadian Indie-Folk/Pop artist Fontine, South Korean actor and furniture designer Lee Chun-hee, travel writers Elisa Paterlini and Luca Golinelli and Tasmanian distiller Ryan Hartshorn.

Blundstone Joint-CEO Adam Blake said that the campaign honors the experiences and memories associated with each pair of boots and celebrates he boots’ durability, longevity, and the individual relationship people build with them over time.
“The more you wear a pair of Blundstones, the more they begin to reflect the life you live,” says Blake. “Every scuff and mark has a story, intertwined with your life experiences and personality. Like wine, our boots only get better with age,” he said in a statement. “Blundstones are not made for sitting still, they’re made for living. And it’s the memories, experiences and stories of life that we are celebrating through this campaign”.
“Blundstones are made for living, not just standing still,” Blake added.
“Every single story I’ve ever done, every single trip I’ve ever made, I’ve always worn Blundstones,” Zeller, who is an award winning journalist, said as part of her testimonial for the brand.
