Behold, our blackest ever sneaker!

It's still not entirely black (given neither the calfskin lining, nor our signature stitch on the heel, are that darkest of possible not-an-actual-colour colours). 

But it's still incredibly black; black sole, black laces and smooth, hardy, black, German bull leather, tanned in the far West of Germany.

Incredibly black?

Yes, we're pretty sure this new sneaker is about as dark black as being in bed at 2am, fumbling for the light switch, with your eye mask still on. 

The leather is produced to the TerraCare® standard, which ensures highest possible consideration for the environment, animal welfare and employee working conditions.

It's a little thicker than leather we've used for sneakers in the past, so you may find it takes a few wears to soften up to the atheist levels of comfort you may be familiar with - but it does break in nicely and it's also the first leather in our collection which we can say is officially "waterproof".

To cap it all off, this sneaker has been handmade with oodles of care by our (insert appropriate collective noun) of shoemakers, in Portugal, who are really a nice bunch of humans and are grateful, as are we, that you support their work.
