About The Sneaker Jalkineet

The Sneaker -niminen kenkä soveltuu sekä vastaanottoon että skeittirampille, se on raaka ja elegantti yhtä aikaa. Väri on mattamusta kultaisilla yksityiskohdilla, mukaan lukien pieni koriste, joka on kiinnitetty nauhoihin. Kun pohja on kulunut, se voidaan vaihtaa, joten kenkien käyttöikä on lähes ajaton. Jokainen kenkä on ommeltu yksitellen taitavien käsityöläisten toimesta.
