【Brother Bridge】ALI II Vintage Black Calf Athletic Derby Shoes
Description
Derby style athletic collection.
This shoe is designed with boxing hero Muhammad Ali as a style icon.
The nine eyelets from the toe, which is rare for a Derby, give it a classic feel. This model is recommended for those who want to incorporate the weightiness of boots and the elegance of Derby into their own style.
Another great thing about this design is that the laces can be adjusted from the toe, making it suitable for almost any foot shape.
Himeji Calfskin – Developed Over Three Years
This high-quality calfskin leather is made from some of the finest rawhide in the world, produced in the Netherlands, and tanned using an original recipe at a long-established tannery in Himeji. It took over three years of development to produce this product.
The calfskin leather is made from high-quality raw hides and is tanned with tannins and finished with only oil and dyes, allowing you to enjoy beautiful changes over time. The dense texture of the tannin tanning is a sign of high skill.
Normally, chrome tanned and pigment-finished leather provides a uniform finish and stable surface, but it's somewhat inferior in terms of aging. On the other hand, tannin-tanned leather has the characteristic of developing a sheen and retaining wrinkles over time due to the reaction of its components.
Tannin tanning, by its nature, tends to make the leather slightly harder, but here at the tannery's (leather factory's) years of experience and the unique use of water have produced a more flexible tannin-tanned leather. It's a rare and wild type of leather often used for women's shoes.
Additionally, to make the leather age more noticeably with use, the surface is finished only with dyes, which allows cream to penetrate well. With care, the leather darkens and develops a beautiful patina.
Although it is a more labor-intensive tanning method, Brother Bridge decided to produce calf leather with the desire for customers to enjoy the natural changes that this leather undergoes.
