“My MAMA always says gators can’t touch ya in these!

Florida Man dunked from the Louisiana stateline into a nearby swamp over 6 gators to win the Drain the Swamp conferece championships back in 1987 and Bobby Boucher actually hand watered the leather for the leather trees this pair was made out of, now that must’ve been some high quality h2o….” -Adam Sandler

The black pebble top Italian calf leather is used here as for texture and an unmatched softness and durability. It is hand quilted for a luxurious feel and added structural integrity in the shoe. The Japanese vegetable dyed calfskin is naturally purple from the Ube root used in the dying process and both sustainable and ubiquitously beautiful. Finally, the pigskin liners were chosen as an ode to basketball itself and the material that the Spaulding official balls are made of there’s a reason why. It’s soft, yet provides serious grip, it is very durable, and as pigskin is the closest thing to human skin it forms a much more natural fit and feel to your ankle(if you ARE human...)
