Results of the first Horween football print cordovan pair made specially for our private GMTO! We have had a couple of artisans here at the factory complimenting this make.

What are your thoughts? As we expected the pattern was slightly ironed out in the toe area. However we managed to maintain as much print as possible.

Oh, that is too cool! Almost makes me wish I'd gone with that! But, I had my heart set on Rubi this go around.

@Carmina, are there any more of these hides available? Enough for a one-off 10.5UK sneaker? I have an MTO fee waiver to blow and this looks about as nice as I expected.

Wow, those are gorgeous. Carmina style and finish, matched with a beautiful shell color, and print...winner!

During the weekend, I took the sneakers to the test with a little walk in the forest (sockless, as you can see). I think it passed the test with flying colors. I quite like them actually. Maybe I'm gonna get another pair of these in other color/leather.

I was talking to a friend about Carmina's Black Funchal Unlined Captoe Oxford. Has anyone had experience with the leather? I've never seen an unlined oxford before, how does the inside look/work? I'm guessing there's toe stiffener in there?

We have no more football print cordovan for the time being, unfortunately. We can try to source some more samples if you are interested.
