1205 / Derby Shoes

Elegantly Melancholic Derby Shoes
Introducing a pair of derby shoes from 1205, featuring a distinctive thick outsole on refined nubuck leather.

The upper is made of nubuck leather, known for its softness and clean impression, giving it a delicate appearance. The choice of a leather and rubber sole with volume balances elegance with a masculine touch.










1205
Founded in 2010, it is a fashion brand based in London. The brand name is not fixed and is based on the designer Paula Gerbase's intention to remain anonymous. The brand mostly uses plain materials and designs that are not overly extravagant, and it is a genderless brand with no boundaries between men's and women's fashion.






Nubuck Leather for a Mature Vibe
The upper is made of soft nubuck leather. Nubuck leather is cowhide that has been sanded to create a brushed surface, resulting in a soft and smooth texture, as well as durability comparable to hiking boots. Its matte texture exudes a sophisticated, mature atmosphere.

Furthermore, as you continue to wear it, you'll notice a subtle increase in shine, a unique feature of nubuck leather that comes with aging.








Sturdy "Goodyear Welt" Construction for Stability
These shoes are constructed using the complex and robust Goodyear welt method. The greatest appeal lies in the ability to repeatedly replace the shoe soles. It offers sturdiness in construction, comfort in fit, stability in wearing, and a sense of a solid, weighty design.






Durable Half Rubber Sole Treatment
Vibram soles are used on the shoe soles. By attaching rubber soles to the front and back of the outsole, it not only improves grip but also prevents the leather sole, the main sole, from wearing out. This extends the lifespan of the outsole without the need for replacements.






Perfect Match for Mature Casual Outfits
These casual derby shoes are versatile and can be paired with a wide range of styles, from casual to smart, thanks to their refined materials and design.
