Black with a white sole — the original ULTRALight in pebbled deerskin with a graphic black-on-white contrast. The white sole sharpens the silhouette, and the unlined deerskin upper develops a subtle patina unique to each pair.
The accident that became your favourite product. The ULTRALight was conceived in the aftermath of the SF-01 v2. We enlisted the help of the other family of Italian artisan shoemakers (who fortunately later took over our entire programme), and after studying our final submission for the v2, they suggested some improvements and also that we make a version with a Strobel construction (for comfort and flexibility) and an extra-light sole instead — it sounded interesting and when the first sample arrived it blew our minds. The artisans had altered the silhouette to make it sleeker than the SF-01 and R happened to say, "you know these sort of feel like ultra-luxury converse chucks, but something is missing" and then came his one (only) inspired moment "get rid of the lining, lets go unlined and unstructured".
The final sample arrived three weeks later, and the rest is history... it's a pair that becomes an instant favourite of everyone who has worn it.
The ULTRALight sneakers are handmade in Corridonia, Italy by a specialist family of craftsmen. The upper is handcut from an unbelievably soft but durable, unlined deerskin before it is attached to an Italian-sourced, incredibly lightweight sole via a Strobel construction which gives the shoe an unbelievably comfortable, light, and cooling wear.

Deerskin promises an experience like no other - a unique blend of comfort, protection, and longevity from the moment you wear them. The softer, unlined leather acclimates to your foot almost immediately and provides an unparalleled level of comfort. The Italian-made soles are outstandingly comfortable and complement the choice of construction on the sneakers - strobel - which keeps the pair incredibly flexible, reducing any strain on the foot. Finally, to top it all off, we have selected a unique and comfortable removable leather-lined insole made of coconut fibers.

Excellence in shoemaking has been an obsession and never-ending quest that has spanned three generations. 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. There is a beauty in the balance between passion and practicality.

How they measure up to the others... Let's come clean here!
The next time you pay for something, we politely invite you to think about what you have actually paid for... We spend more on our product, and sell it for less. Less advertising, less overheads, less fluff... just simple, great product.
