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.

If our Split Toe Derby is the painting, Levi is the artist.
After having won the First US Shoe Shine Championship, and after handling hundreds of shoes as both a hobbyist and professional, Levi's breadth of knowledge and experience in the shoe world has helped us design the final word for this iconic pattern.
