Das Asphalt Sneaker

This sneaker is one degree lighter than black (in our arbitrary reckoning of where one shade ends and another begins). We could have called it Charcoal, or Anthracite, or Nearly Black, but we went with Asphalt (which isn't a great name, admittedly, as it risks you concluding the leather leans blue, or navy, when it really doesn't. I guess it depends what colour the roads are where you live).
Anyhow, it's definitely not black. And having shoes one shade lighter than black can be useful when it comes to outfit matching, or just not wanting your feet to suck in every last drop of available light.
DAS ASPHALT is handmade with biodegradable nubuck, tanned in Portugal, at a family-owned tannery, not far from where our shoemakers live and work.
They're finished with a Bauhaus sole; our tribute to the city of Berlin (if you can figure out the 11 references you get them for free, but - be warned - no human has ever managed to do it).
