In clean white calfskin with a matching white sole, this is the SF-01 v3 at its most minimal — the kind of sneaker that disappears into an outfit and lets the construction do the talking. This particular pair uses a fibreboard floorboard rather than the standard full-grain leather, which accounts for the sample sale pricing.
The SF-01 was created for the Styleforum community by its members. The first release, though an overwhelming success wasn't perfect and we didn't quite reach our aim of creating the world's best minimalist sneaker. Incorporating feedback from the forum community, rectifying design flaws, improving materials and addressing everything discovered by Rose Anvil in his first video — you can say the subsequent version, the v2 was entirely a team effort — and with its release and outstanding feedback, we thought we had done it.
The SF-01 v3 is made in Corridonia, Italy and therefore we have not only all the learnings from the original maker, the community, the two releases, and the two videos by Rose Anvil but also additional input from the lovely family responsible for our GAT sneakers. We have amended the silhouette slightly to provide a more snug and captured fit on the heel. The SF-01 v3 marries a sleek and contemporary silhouette with centuries of inherited artistry. With uppers crafted from a selection of the finest leathers, each hand-cut and stitched before being stitched to a springy Margom sole.
This particular version of the SF-01 v3 is made from the finest Italian Nappa calfskin — each purpose selected for its softness and durability. These leathers are vegetable re-tanned meaning they contain a small number of chromium salts which helps to maintain their longevity as well as the integrity of the colour. The calfskin acclimates to your foot quickly in warmer conditions, moulding to a personal fit within the first few wears. Ships to Australia.
