From the brand: The Silhouette: Tonal Sophistication
Built on the
W2298 last
,
the James features a streamlined,
city-appropriate profile that offers a secure and tailored fit through the waist and heel.
The design is elevated by its hand-stitched apron and a unique split-toe detail,
giving the shoe an architectural character that excels in both smart and casual settings.
In Navy,
the shoe takes on a midnight depth that pairs seamlessly with grey tailoring or raw denim.
Castorino Suede: Lightweight Luxury
Castorino is a premium full-grain reverse suede,
prized for its exceptional handle and natural durability.
Velvet-Like Nap:
It features a very fine,
short nap that absorbs light to create a rich,
matte Navy hue.
Reverse Suede Integrity:
Because the full grain of the leather remains intact on the interior,
the upper is more breathable and resilient than standard split-suede alternatives.
Immediate Comfort:
The supple nature of the Castorino hide allows the shoe to adapt quickly to the wearer's foot,
ensuring a comfortable break-in period.
Technical Build: The Vi-Lite Foundation
To evolve the James for modern city life,
we have utilised a high-performance sole unit.
Vibram Vi-Lite Sole:
This edition is grounded by a
Vibram Vi-Lite sole
,
an expanded rubber compound that provides the rugged look of a heavy tread with a "featherweight" feel.
Shock Absorption:
The Vi-Lite material is engineered for superior cushioning and traction,
making it ideal for navigating city pavements over long periods.
Goodyear Welted:
Fully Goodyear welted in our Northampton factory,
ensuring a watertight bond and a shoe that is built to be resoled for decades.
