JOHN LOBB 2017 Limited Edition Year Model "HAYES" 367,200 yen

It takes about 6 weeks to make one pair of "HAYES" shoes.

Opening the special edition shoebox, exclusive to this year's model, reveals the 2017 limited edition "HAYES" shoe, crafted from a single beautiful piece of museum calf leather, with every detail meticulously finished by hand using the full range of artisans' skills.

It takes about six weeks to make one pair of "HAYES" shoes at the factory in Northampton, England. The "HAYES" is a modern interpretation of JOHN LOBB 's classic double-buckle design, with a whole-cut single-piece leather upper that blends seamlessly with the elegant, flowing form of the 7000 last with its round toe.
The Chambord double leather sole, welt, carefully hand-sculpted waist and heel, and beautifully painted sole—all the details are hand-stitched, and even the shoe trees are a special version exclusive to this year's model.

A pair of shoes that only JOHN LOBB with its mastery of shoemaking techniques, can offer.

The classic double-buckle style, which originated with JOHN LOBB in the 1940s, is all carried on in the "HAYES" year model. These shoes, which are like works of art crafted from a single piece of leather with a flowing, beautiful form, an elegant almond-shaped toe, and hand-stitched wholecut construction, are truly exceptional.

Hand-sewn aprons are meticulously crafted, with each stitch carefully threaded through holes made with a thin awl. This process is said to take even highly skilled craftsmen about two hours. The invisible stitching, known as skin stitching, not only highlights the hand-sewn apron and simple buckle but also connects the single piece of leather used for the upper.

Every element of this limited edition JOHN LOBB shoe is a testament to the finest craftsmanship. Made with Goodyear welt construction, it offers exceptional durability and comfort.
