1. JOHN LOBB yearly model makes a strong impression. 2027 will feature single-buckle shoes.

Every year, JOHN LOBB creates an annual model to coincide with Saint Crispin's Day, symbolizing their craftsmanship and quality as a boot manufacturer. The model we are introducing here is the "Turner," a shoe from their 2027 collection.

The "Turner" is a single-buckle shoe that utilizes JOHN LOBB 's pattern-making expertise, and is characterized by its construction, which uses a single piece of leather in a spiral shape (spiral cut), except for the strap.

In addition to the design that highlights the stitching line on the toe, the special navy color of the sole is also unique to this year's model. The decorative design around the shoe and the oval-shaped buckle add a subtle touch of variation to its refined appearance.

The shoe trees are engraved with "ST CRISPIN 2027," and each pair is individually numbered and limited to 500 pairs worldwide, making it a model that will impress any shoe enthusiast.

2. JM WESTON 's coveted "Hunt Derby" in a plain toe style.

The elegant design unique to wingtips, combined with the relaxed feel of open lacing, results in a shoe that is both classic and perfectly suited to today's style.

The slightly elongated toe creates a unique balance that sets it apart from both American and British shoes. The use of cordovan leather for the upper further enhances the robust and straightforward appearance that is characteristic of Enzo Bonafe .
