Materials

European Top-Grain Calf Leather
Sourced from Portugal and hand-finished for softness and durability, our top-grain calfskin features a smooth surface and semi-matte finish that ages beautifully. Treated with shea butter and carnauba wax, it’s supple enough to mold to your foot and strong enough to keep its shape over time. With wear, it develops a rich patina — unique to you.


Dual-Density Rubber Outsole
Comfort and traction, built in.
The natural rubber used for the soles of our sneakers is vulcanized and blended with 40% recycled rubber, to improve resilience, strength, flexibility and water resistance. Count on them for stability, excellent traction, support and buoyancy.


Shock-Absorbent Performance Footbeds
Insoles adapt to your feet’s shape to form custom-like footbeds. Customize between two options:

Comfort: Extra-cushioned for casual, all-day wear. Soft, supportive, and cloud-like.

Performance: Slightly firmer for more stability and responsiveness, ideal for active movement or active movement or long days on your feet.

Both options mold to your foot’s shape, creating a custom-feel fit over time.


Natural Grain Leather Lining
A wholecut piece of soft leather lines the interior of your shoes to smooth over any joints or seams. Its natural temperature regulating, moisture absorbing, odor controlling and breathability properties will also keep your feet fresh and comfortable.

Design

A Classic Court Sneaker
We started with a versatile low-top silhouette — understated, minimal, and built to move from city sidewalks to casual nights out without missing a beat. It’s the kind of timeless design that looks just as good with tailored trousers as it does with denim. Clean lines, no distractions — just a sneaker you’ll want to wear everywhere.

Three Versatile Colorways
Snow – a crisp, gallery-white that makes everything feel a little more elevated.
Space – a soft black with cool undertones for a sharp, modern edge.
Sepia – a rich, earthy neutral that brings just the right amount of warmth and nostalgia.

Laser Engraving
Make it yours with custom engraving on the heel tab — initials, a date, or a message. It’s that low‑key flex that turns a solid sneaker into your signature move.

Sizes for Everyone
Because each pair is made to order, we’re able to offer an extended size range — from EU 35 to 50 — making this one of the most inclusive sneaker fits out there. The style is fully unisex and designed to work for all genders.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Custom Leather Sneaker ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
