A union of two likeminded companies with shared values of making beautiful things that last at a fair price. 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.

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.
