The story of the SF-02's is one riddled with frustration, yet in the end, it seems everything went exactly how it should. We first started working on them just after going into production with SF-01 v1s, and they were also initially designed with the Styleforum community, who were quite vocal at the time for a slip-on version of the ultimate Italian-made sneaker. However, as things went, the v1s weren't perfect, and though the v2s came very close, they weren't either. It meant creating the v3s, this time adding the experience of a different set of craftsmen, achieving our initial target of the ultimate Italian-made classic sneakers, and finally working on the SF-02's. These incorporate all the learnings from every SF-01 delivered and feature all the upgrades and improvements right through the legacy of the SF-01s.
The SF-02 was designed to feature as our take on the elevated classic sneaker. It incorporates some features commonly seen in dress shoes and works as our take on the more formal dress sneaker. This particular version is made using the infamous Chromexcel from the Horween Tannery in the USA and follows on from the success of the SF-01 v3's available in the same leathers.
