The SF-01 in Kangaroo

##Handcrafted in Italy Finding the right craftsmen to work with on our footwear wasn’t an overnight process. After a thorough search that took us from Northampton in England to various Italian makers, we knew we had found the right workshop when we got to Mirandola in the Emilia Romagna region. Here, a dedicated father and son team make what are the finest shoes we have come across. We have requested no compromises are made and where others ask for a quick turnaround, we have done just the opposite. Our range of sneakers is the ultimate combination of contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship; only the finest calfskin traditionally reserved for the best men's dress shoes or the highest grade of kangaroo leather is used for the upper, and finger-stitched to springy rubber soles. Comfort, class and durability. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

##The finest Australian Kangaroo hide is selected by our tannery in Montegranaro, Italy. Kangaroo leather consists of fine collagen fibres that are concentrated, highly uniform and run parallel to the surface of the skin.These attributes give it a higher tensile strength than other skins, which is why motorcyclists seek it out when choosing their protective leathers. It's also uniquely airy on account of a thin grain layer and naturally low fat content, in addition to its lack of sweat glands and arrector pili muscles.

#200 years of shoe-making excellence preparing your feet for whatever may come. We've spent months working with our craftsmen to develop the SF-01, ensuring it is true to the vision of the Styleforum community. Luckily for us, our father-and-son team in Mirandola need little guidance when it comes to bringing a vision to life. 200 years of inherited skill and a lifetime of experience is an irreplaceable attribute when it comes to creating the finest footwear.
