The UltraLIGHT LV sneakers features an unbelievably soft, unlined deer-skin upper attached to a French-made, ultra-luxurious, and lightweight Lactae Hevea sole. This unstructured version of the community-designed SF-01 is constructed by a specialist family of craftsmen in Corridonia, Italy using a strobel construction, producing the shoe in an especially flexible, cooling, light, and soft version perfect for both Spring and Summer.
#Handcrafted in Italy
Located in Montegranaro, 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.
##A luxuriously supple Italian-tanned unlined pebbled deerskin is used to form the wonderfully unstructured upper which is then stitched to a Lactae Hevea sole.
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 French-made Lactae Hevea soles are outstandingly comfortable thanks to the microstructure of tiny air bubbles that form as the sole is made from the virgin hevea milk - a subtle alchemy of tradition and modernity. Finally, to top it all off, we have selected a unique and comfortable removable leather lined insole made of coconut fibers.
