how it is made.
Skilfully handcrafted in Montegranaro, Italy, the PUTNEY presents a construction which can only be found in high-luxury brands, with the upper made with the finest full grain calfskin and a stitched (not cheaply cemented) natural latex rubber sole, for extra durability, flexibility and comfort.
To produce these natural latex rubber outsoles, pure virgin hevea milk is refined to create a unique sole full of tiny air bubbles offering exceptional levels of comfort and shock absorption.
The dimensional, tonal finish is the result of a meticulous artisanal process, which starts from the dip dyeing of natural crust leather and see additional layers of dye and ageing creams gradually applied by hand once the sneaker is stitched together. The shades of uneven intensity are then emphasised through careful waxing and brushing.
To create a distressed, urban look, this style also undergoes an exclusive antiquing process called stone washing, consisting in washing the sneaker in open washing machines filled with water and pumice stones.
