SHALAPI Milano 1.1 luxury sneakers for men in black

Full grain calfskin leather is the outermost layer: the most premium part. The pebbled surface is the result of high pressure that recreates the natural grain while making the leather softer, giving the shoe a look that is both worn-in and elegant. 

To create this effect, the surface of the leather is stretched and lightly pressed. The presses eliminate wrinkles and emboss a uniform pebble-grain into the leather. In the hands of our artisans, the leather is then carefully examined: only their keen eye is able to determine the perfect grain size for each individual shoe.

Designed for comfort without compromising elegance, the XL sole is lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing. Its modern profile offers excellent grip and all-day wearability, making it ideal for those who move with purpose and style.
