Materials and workmanship

• The upper is made of a combination of leather, synthetic inserts, and textiles - this combination provides a balance between durability, flexibility, and comfort during daily wear.

• Leather panels help the pair hold their shape better and add a sense of "premium" density in key areas.

• Textile areas improve breathability and make the fit softer, which is especially noticeable during long walks.

• Synthetic elements reinforce the design and increase practicality: the sneakers can more easily withstand an active pace and frequent wear.

3. The sole with a grippy tread increases stability while walking and makes the model practical for the city, when the weather and surface can change.
