About the materials
About the materials
UPPER: Cowhide
SOLE: Rubber
As leather is a natural material, the unique textures of each hide, such as the grain, scars, wrinkles, and tiger stripes, will vary between individual pieces and parts.
Additionally, differences in leather fiber density can lead to variations in color shade. Therefore, the finish and color development may differ between identical products or parts.
We hope you will cherish the product you receive as your own unique item.
Examples of wrinkles (top image) and tiger stripes (bottom image)...
※Due to the dyeing and finishing process, which values the natural texture of the leather, color fading and transfer may occur with friction, moisture, or prolonged contact.
Please be cautious when wearing light-colored socks or clothing.
