The SF-01 v3 Mid-top Sneakers in Full Vegetable Tan Calf Leather

Whilst developing the SF-01 v2, we searched far and wide across tanneries in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy for the very best full vegetable tanned white leathers in order to fulfil a promise we had made to the community - to create a sneaker with a full vegetable tanned white upper. What we found is an offering from a small, heritage tannery in Italy that was head and shoulders above the rest. A fully vegetable-tanned leather will never achieve the brilliant white colour that revived the classic minimalist sneaker, however offers something much different. This skin is slightly off-white and thus we have paired it with special undyed cotton laces. The SF-01 v3 Mid-tops exhibit all the same learnings that went into the development of the low-tops through v1 and v2, all of which helped us achieve our goal to create the perfect minimalist sneaker on our third attempt. The mid-top silhouette is similar to the one used for our Goodyear mid-top sneaker range but with the same assembled construction used for our SF-01 v3 low-top range.
