SHALAPI luxury Mario boots 1.1 in Brown

Our smooth calfskin leather is full-grain, crafted from the outermost layer: the most premium part of the animal. The artisan's touch makes it beautiful and soft by gently hammering the surface: this process brings out the leather's natural characteristics, reviving and giving it body. This essential step requires time and the precision of experienced hands.

A Signature Detail with Purpose

The bold yellow pull tab on these boots is more than just a functional detail—it’s a style statement. Inspired by heritage workwear but reimagined for luxury fashion, this vivid accent contrasts beautifully against the polished black leather, creating a subtle yet unmistakable signature. Not only does it make the boots easier to slip on, but it also adds a unique character that sets them apart from conventional silhouettes. It’s a refined nod to individuality—perfect for those who appreciate understated luxury with a twist.

That same yellow detail continues along the outsole with a distinctive stitch line—an intentional design choice that connects the visual language of the boot from top to bottom. The rubber sole ensures confident grip and comfort, while the yellow stitching adds a refined, artisanal edge. Together, these touches turn minimalism into identity.

Our production is rooted in Naples, a city renowned for its rich artisan heritage and centuries-old shoemaking tradition. Here, craftsmanship is not just a skill—it’s a legacy passed down through generations. We work exclusively with local artisans who have inherited their knowledge from family, mastering every nuance of the trade. To ensure our shoes age beautifully and stand the test of time, we select only premium leathers and rely on the hands and eyes of those who understand true Neapolitan quality.
