Redemption - Bordeaux Bovine (red/black)
Redemption - Bordeaux Bovine (red/black)
The Bordeaux Bovine is an ode to the gym shoe that birthed a culture. When Michael Jordan's first signature shoe was released in 1985, the Chicago Bulls red/white/black combination became an iconic colourway and sneakers instantly became a luxury item. I wanted to hark back to the sneaker that changed the game with a silhouette and material set that reflects the intersection of luxury, craftsmanship and grit embodied by YJL.
Masterfully crafted with sumptuous lambskin leather to ensure comfort and refinement and detailed with an elevated crocodile embossing. Coupled with waxed laces for lasting durability and prestige. The harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design highlights the uniqueness and versatility of the Bordeaux Bovine.
This style is unisex.
The Redemption is our take on the basketball sneakers that characterized the NBA's golden era... we called them 'gym shoes'.
Vamp: High end semi-aniline leather amazingly embossed to define the look of the real crocodile; hand-stained for a two-tone effect.
Tongue: A full aniline leather with a waxy, soft clear top coat; soluble dyes result in a polished, rich transparent look retaining the hide’s natural surface.
Shoe horn and two alternative sets of wax laces, in white and bordeaux, are included with purchase.
