A modern reinterpretation of low quarter shoes worn by military officers with dress uniforms during World War II. The design went through multiple revisions to the last silhouette to balance both classic and casual elements. The position of the rapid stitching was meticulously adjusted to achieve a sleek shape of the waist-heel part of the welt, capturing the original military mood.

The upper is crafted from Spanish cowhide that underwent drum-dyeing followed by a wax finish, and then had a brush finish to achieve a sophisticated sheen. Featuring a cap toe with four rows of stitching, the design lends itself particularly well to classic American casual looks and military-inspired outfits. The shoes come with standard black waxed cotton laces and an extra pair in grey cotton for styling versatility.
