Description

BePositive x HNB: HNB stands for Handcrafted No Brand, which exactly represents the artisan duo behind the development of this small capsule. Creating art with their hands, far from any marketing logic, this small laboratory in the heart of the luxury shoe district, the Riviera del Brenta, has preserved the true tradition of shoemaking.
Three styles made with artisanal Goodyear construction. This manufacturing technique, patented in the late 1800s by Charles Goodyear, involves the use of a soft leather welt, along the entire perimeter of the shoe, which is sewn to the edge of a leather insole, thus also joining the upper and the inner lining of the shoe. Subsequently, an insulating and filling intermediate insole is added in the space created between the insole and the sole.
In the second phase of this process, the same welt is also fixed to the sole. This process is visually characterized by the absence of external stitching and, especially in the past, was considered of great value also because the shoes made with this technique could be resoled several times, therefore lasting much longer.

Color

Upper in black Italian leather, with dark brown ribbed sock. The sole is in natural leather with a sawtooth rubber tread.
