About The Sneaker Încălțăminte

Pantoful numit The Sneaker este un pantof atât pentru recepții, cât și pentru rampa de skate, fiind în același timp brut și elegant. Culoarea este negru mat cu detalii aurii, inclusiv o mică bijuterie atașată la șiret. Când talpa se uzează, aceasta poate fi înlocuită, astfel încât durata de viață a pantofilor este aproape nelimitată. Fiecare pantof este cusut individual de meșteri calificați.
