prtl x 4R4s exclusive Steer Leather Thong Sandal (BLACK) Material: Cowhide (Steer Leather) 'prtl (ピーアールティーエル)' A new brand launched by Mr. Obuchi, the designer and shoemaker of Portaille, under the theme of "concentration." They propose shoes that elevate the knowledge and techniques cultivated at Portaille to a higher dimension. '4R4s (フォーアールフォーエス)' A planning team that collaborates with designers from Japan and abroad on design and construction. While emphasizing the wearer's senses and subjectivity, they reflect objectivity through professionals in each field. They aim to create "high quality" by examining from various perspectives, not only the creators' but also those of fabric manufacturers, sewing factories, retail stores, and end-users involved in the work. Finished with tannin tanning in the raw hide state of domestic cow leather. During dyeing, Italian solid wax "Memory Effect" is permeated to add further depth to the color of the leather. As the name suggests, this solid wax has a shape-memory-like effect when applied, making it easier for wrinkles to remain on the shoes, allowing for quicker aging. This leather pursues a balance of pressure and release to preserve the original grain of the leather. In addition, the nails that secure the sole are treated with a corrosive liquid to create a unique sense of decay and an antique feel. These leather sandals, which evoke a sense of the season, are items specially ordered by LOOM and GULLAM for prtl x 4R4s. The body, designed to cover the ankles firmly, will form flowing drape wrinkles when worn, and combined with the texture of the leather, which contains a lot of grain, it also creates a sense of weight. The silhouette is designed so that the toes do not protrude too much, giving a neat appearance. Made in Japan Size 4 Outsole: 27 cm Width: 9.2 cm Height: 13.9 cm Heel Height: 2.3 cm Considering that these are leather sandals, the leather is cut using a single piece. The design minimizes the exposed area of the foot, as if the leather wraps around the foot. The large, undulating draping of the leather from the ankle to the instep is comparable to boots. Single piece leather Condition: Beautiful item, worn about 4 times. The collaboration model is rare and sold out quickly due to the limited quantity.
