Hardgraft knows their leather. And we’ve sees them work their magic on the material in their gorgeous line of straps, wallets, and bags. This time around, Hardgraft is turning their leather mastery to sneakers in the form of the S1.
Instead of copying classic silhouettes like many boutique sneakers, it looks like the outfit came up with an original for this design. And it’s hot, with a boot-like profile that should make it a perfect fit for the fall outfits you’re already assembling and a minimalist styling that diverts all the attention to the upper’s beautiful material.
The Hardgraft S1 boasts a full-grain leather upper with a calf leather lining, as well as cushioned tongue and cuffs to ensure they fit as comfortably as any shoe you’ll gladly wear day in and day out. A reinforced arch makes sure it provides ample protection for all day wear, with the contrasting leather patch accents on the inner foot to give it a little extra flair. Rounding it out is a durable white rubber sole and cotton laces.
Two colorways of the shoe are available: desert sand and desaturated gray, each one sporting the other leather as the patch accent. This is an exclusive limited edition release, by the way, with only 100 of each colorway ever to come in existence.
Available now, the Hardgraft S1 sneakers are priced at $358.
