Dirty Martini

The first low-top I ever built. Deconstructed on purpose — exposed foam, a zig-zag stitch along the side overlay, raw in all the right places.

White and black smooth leather, green nubuck, a silver side overlay. Cream laces. The pattern was new to me at the time, and the shoe shows it — imperfect, honest, a document of learning.

Every pair after this one exists because of this one.
