SPRING 2017
WE’VE COVINCED OURSELVE THAT THE GREATS ARE ONLY CELEBRITIES OR ATHLETES, THE SPECIAL FEW WHO DESERVE THE BEST. THE TRUTH IS, THE GREATS AREN’T BORN GREAT, THEY’RE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. HOWEVER, THEY KNOW GREATNESS ISN’T ACHIEVED BY LOWERING STANDARDS, BUT RAISING THEM. THE GREATS DON’T ASK TO BE GREAT. THEY DEMAND IT.
WE ARE ALL GREATS.

It’s finished off with waxed cotton laces that will develop a unique patina of their own. [Nero] 00122 [Blanco] 00123 [Cuoio] 00124

WILSON12345
THE ROYALE CHUKKA 12345 We took our smoothest Nero Italian leather upper and knighted it to upscale sneaker status. The upper is made from a rich Italian leather and the inside is lined with a rich vegetable tan vachetta calf leather.

The Wilson is our interpretation of the timeless sneaker—we didn’t add too much, just a vulcanized rubber sole, and a toe cap and tongue accent rendered in rich pebbled leather.

HIRSH 12345
We transformed the understated icon into a symbol of uncommon luxury. We kept the simple silhouette and elastic side tabs of the timeless slip-on, but upped the ante with artisan Italian construction, Margom soles, a comfortable vachetta leather lining (no socks necessary), and a full-grain leather uppers that get better with wear.
First, we sourced the most premium Italian suede we could find, then we upgraded the sole with a shock-absorbing EVA midsole and slightly rippled rubber Margom outsole, we also added a natural leather heel counter that will age as beautifully as the rest of the shoe. [Cadet] 00122 [Dune] 00123

THE PRONTO 12345
THE GREATS DONT PLAY BY THE RULES. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN.
Meet the newest model: The Nero Pronto. The Pronto is made to spec in Civitanova, Italy—known in the trade as “shoe valley”— where each shoe is built to the utmost standards. It easily laps the competition with a luxurious full-leather lining, a hand cut leather stabilizer on the heel, 3M accents on the toe, and hits of top-notch leather and suede on the upper, with just enough mesh for breathability. We’ve also upgraded it with a luxurious Vibram tread sole for added traction—so handling street corners will be a breeze. [Nero] 00122 [Cargo] 00123 [Graphite] 00124
