Article no. 1274 - Heirloom Low Top Court Sneaker in Vegetable Tanned Calf Leather
Bespoke shoemaker Josh Leong designed his men's sneaker collection to be made using the same grade of leather that is used in bespoke shoes. A classic design and silhouette, full grain Italian calf leather and an ultra durable Margom rubber sole, combine to form a sneaker that is for the ages.
This is the first variation of Heirloom's classic court sneaker made entirely from Italian vegetable tanned calf leather.
Vegetable tanned leather develops a natural patina over time, which will vary depending on the environmental conditions the leather is exposed to.
This pair will age beautifully and take on a different character as they are worn in.
Features:
- Lasted by hand
- Italian vegetable tanned calf leather used for the uppers
- Calf lining
- Margom rubber sole

Step 1: Using a soft cloth, apply a few thin layers of the pure mink oil that is provided with your shoes. Be sure to apply the mink oil in small, circular motions, to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the surface of the leather.
Step 2: After the mink oil has dried, use a horsehair brush to vigorously brush the surface of the shoes to remove any excess mink oil.
Be sure not to use any other leather conditioning products on your vegetable tanned leather shoes, as they may interact with the leather and prevent the natural patina from occurring.
