##Handcrafted in Italy Located in Corridonia, Italy is a small family owned and operated atelier that has been making exceptional footwear with a focus on quality and construction since 1905. Excellence in shoemaking has been an obsession and never-ending quest that has spanned three generations of this family. As skills are passed from generation to generation there is an insistence to remain in-touch with developments in technology to ensure that both worlds, old and new are always respected in order to achieve the highest quality, most comfortable and longest lasting purpose built shoes. Currently led by the granddaughter of the founder, it was clear from our first interaction that this team of masters fully understood our raison d'etre at Archibald and relished an opportunity to work with us and allow more people to experience the difference their expertise and craft can make in terms of end-product.

Craftsmanship

##Chromexcel (CXL) is a combination tanned leather from the fabled Horween tannery that undergoes at least 89 separate processes taking 28 working days and utilizing all 5 floors of their facility. Located in Chicago since it was founded in 1905, the Horween Leather Company is one of the oldest running tanneries in the USA. Specific and proprietary mixes of bark extracts and natural agents are used to give Chromexcel, its heavy vegetable retannage (this is what makes it so special). The benefit of combination tanning comes from the specific attributes that both chrome and vegetable tanning impart. Generally, chrome tanned leathers yield soft, supple, and durable leathers, while vegetable tanned leathers are round and full feeling, patina well, and are easy to coax into shapes using heat and moisture.

La sneaker ultime, disaient-ils... c'était l'objectif. Nous pensions l'avoir réalisé avec la SF-01 v3, et d'une certaine manière, c'était peut-être le cas. Mais si nous parlons du niveau supérieur d'un produit — alors il restait une étape : la sneaker éternelle.

Tentée par beaucoup, jamais tout à fait perfectionnée — une sneaker inspirée des chaussures habillées, avec une construction permettant le ressemelage et permettant à la tige de rester utile bien au-delà de la semelle Margom qui l'amortit. La sneaker éternelle avait aussi besoin d'une tige en quelque chose de spécial ; quelque chose avec le genre de caractère qui ne fait que s'approfondir avec le temps. Voici le Horween Chromexcel — un cuir à tannage combiné de la légendaire tannerie Horween à Chicago, où chaque peau subit 89 processus distincts sur 28 jours ouvrés, émergeant avec une finition pull-up qui développe une patine riche et vivante au fil du port.

Après des mois de recherche et d'exploration, nous avons trouvé nos réponses dans un petit atelier à Corridonia, Italie, dans la région des Marches — où un maître artisan a développé une construction Goodyear esthétiquement plaisante pour sneakers qui nous a permis de concrétiser le projet. Cela signifie que la construction suit des patrons modifiés de la célèbre méthode Goodyear de sorte que la tige est attachée de manière à la protéger et élimine le besoin de colle lors de la fixation de la semelle, qui peut être changée au besoin. Les tiges sont coupées et cousues à la main par un atelier familial qui fabrique des chaussures d'exception depuis 1905, avant d'être montées sur une semelle Margom élastique avec un plancher en cuir pleine fleur.

Cette paire spéciale en édition limitée est livrée avec un jeu supplémentaire de semelles Margom colorées inclus — pour que lorsqu'il sera temps de les ressemeler, les semelles seront prêtes, et la plupart des cordonniers compétents pourront compléter le processus avec facilité. Livraison en Suisse.
