Levi x Legacy Split Toe Derby - Dark Brown Hatchgrain
$395.00
In collaboration with U.S. Shoe Shine Champion Levi Elliott, we set out to design a Limited Run of THE definitive Split Toe derby. We've taken this sartorial favorite and refined it with a hand-sewn heel, 4 eyelets, Double Swan Neck stitching, and a beveled rubber sole. A beautiful intersection of artistry and utility.
Levi started as a fellow hobbyist honing his proficiency in shines and patinas leading up to the first U.S. Shoe Shine Championship in 2023. Despite stiff competition and a "non-professional" background, Levi holds the crown as the First U.S. Champion.
Featuring Dark Brown Hatchgrain leather from Chicago's Horween Tannery, this derby pairs perfectly with its studded rubber sole, maintaining a clean profile while having excellent durability, grip, and comfort. Perfect for any situation.
