Harlestone Derby Sneaker - Brown Chromexcel - Off White Sole
Harlestone Derby Sneaker - Brown Chromexcel - Off White Sole
The Harlestone Derby is Crown Northampton’s original Hand Stitch style and the pinnacle of luxury, handmade sneakers. Made with derby construction and open-faced lacing, the upper mirrors the look, feel and finish of high-quality dress shoes. Following the standards set with bespoke, hand-welted shoes, the Harlestone is cork filled by hand. This age-old process requires skill and patience and is held dear to Crown Northampton's traditional roots. The cork forms a solid filler down the full spine of the sneaker that provides just enough movement to mould to the wearers' feet, with the additional benefits of comfort, stability, and breathable properties throughout the sneaker. Traditional oak bark leather is used for the counter and stiffener with a natural veg-tan crust shoulder used to form the foundations of the insole. Topped with a soft, full natural veg tan leather lining throughout and french bound stitching around the outer edges. The end result of these combined classic techniques is a solid, reliable structure that offers superior strength and longevity. A classic silhouette and design that sits effortlessly between smart and casual and is equally at home paired with everyday trousers or a tailored suit. The hand stitch finishing is functional as opposed to decorative and the thick, natural waxed cotton double stitch adds construction security and design character. These intricate, centuries-old construction details further close the gap between high-end casual sneakers and traditional, Goodyear Welted Northampton dress shoes.
Made from virgin hevea milk harvested directly from the Cao Su or ‘Crying Wood’ tree; these soft, durable Lactae Hevea sole units are fully sustainable and offer a comfortable stride that only gets better with each wear. They are fully resoleable at a later date if required.
*Please note, due to the natural finishing processes used to create Lactae Hevea soles, there may sometimes be slight imperfections and/or color differences from sole to sole. This is considered normal and all part of the unique finish when using natural materials.
