From the brand: Reverse Black Horween Shell Cordovan leather low top trainers
At GORAL we want to push the limits of craftsmanship and these Horween Shell Cordovan shoes embody a larger philosophy - creating footwear that’s built to last, improve with age, and be cherished for generations.
Shell Cordovan is one of the most sought-after leathers in the shoemaking world, and for good reason. It’s far more labour-intensive to produce than traditional cowhide, but the result is a leather that ages beautifully, developing a distinctive and stunning patina over time.
Horween's Shell Cordovan is tanned using traditional methods: slow, full vegetable pit tanning, air drying, and hand-finishing. This meticulous process results in a dense yet pliable leather with a transparent, unique finish that defines the character of Shell Cordovan.
The HANLEY is whole-cut - meaning the upper is crafted from a single, uninterrupted piece of leather, providing not only a sleek and minimalist aesthetic but also unmatched durability. This design allows for a cleaner, more refined look while minimising seams and stitching, which enhances the overall strength and longevity of the shoe. The whole-cut design is meticulously hand-finished with a natural cotton double stitch, enhancing both its durability and distinctive design.
The vegetable tan leather lining adds an extra layer of comfort, while the hand-sewn construction reflects the precision and expertise of our skilled artisans.
Crafted with Blake Stitch construction, these sneakers are built for durability and easy resoling, ensuring they remain a timeless staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
With reinforced padding on the tongue and heel, they offer superior support and stability for all-day wear.
Made with enduring quality and traditional craftsmanship, this sneaker is designed to grow richer with every wear - becoming more unique and personal as it ages.
