Crown Northampton x Heddels: A union of two like-minded companies with shared values of making beautiful things that last at a fair price. The Grand Union Wholecut Sneaker is a meeting of minds from both sides of the Atlantic.

Made on Crown Northampton’s Hand Stitch last, this sneaker pairs English shoemaking with Italian-woven Dyneema denim. The 13.9oz fabric contains around thirty percent Dyneema fibre, giving it an AA abrasion rating and over 550 kilograms of tensile strength on the warp yarns. Strong enough for motorcycle armour, refined enough for everyday wear.
