The Ghirlandina High-Top Leather Sneakers

Ideated on a blistering summer night in Modena, it was only fitting to name our sneaker after the beautiful Torre della Ghirlandina. Hand stitched in Mirandola, Italy using an incredibly soft yet durable Italian calfskin, this minimalist pair stays true to our design philosophy and is simple, classic and timeless." We discontinued the Ghirlandina after we stopped working with this craftsmen as he was responsible for unilaterally changing the construction of the handwelted product without informing us or the customers. We confirm the sneakers, instead, were made to spec, so these were one of the earlier pieces built on an existing last. While the SF-01 series we later developed with our new sneaker-maker is preferred (mainly in construction and some better materials - insoles, full grain leather floorboards etc), this still is an incredibly well-made sneaker with a silhouette that proved very popular. Available for below our-cost.
