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.

Throughout the year we will be launching short-run batches of ‘Shell Cordovan Specials’, focusing on unique colours and finishes not readily available in the marketplace. Please be aware that these special drops will only be available in short runs, all individually hand numbered. Once the stock is gone, it will likely be gone for good.

Once these 20 pairs have sold, the listing will be removed from the site.

Shell Cordovan is seen by many as the very best leather in the world. Each shell is oval and made from within a small portion of a horse’s rump. It is then expertly tanned, stuffed, shaved and polished by hand to reveal the distinctive finish that Shell Cordovan displays. These highly skilled processes take at least six months to complete and are what makes Shell Cordovan so well regarded amongst fine leather craftsmen. When wearing premium leather from the world-famous Shinki Co Ltd, Japan, you get something rare. Founded in 1951, Shinki’s blend of natural oils and processes date back to the edo period 200 years ago and have not changed since. The Shells will patina over time creating a unique sneaker that only Cordovan could become.

The four main shoemaking stages once an order is placed...

Clicking

The ‘clicking’ or cutting process as it is also known is the very start of your shoes being made, the leather is cut into the shapes that make up your silhouette either by hand or on a press.

Closing

Once all the components of the shoe are cut they go through several processes that are essential to the construction then they are sewn together to make the upper.

Lasting

A last is a template form that is unique to each shoe size and style, the upper is pulled onto the last to give it the final shape of the shoe ready for a sole to be fitted. Once the sole is fitted the shoe will have it’s complete form.

Shoe Rooming

The final stage of the factory process your shoes go through the hands of our quality checkers and the finish is applied to the leather or suede to finish the shoe and ensure it looks it’s absolute best.
