Shinki Shell Cordovan is considered one of the finest leathers in the world. Taking over six months to produce the shells are tanned in pits then dyed, waxed and glazed by hand. The pull up shells selected have a soft and ultra smooth finish acquired by the dyed through process where oils penetrate the core of the shell. A rare material with a rare finish that adds a touch of casual character to our standard cordovan hand stitch dress sneaker.
