Blood Core Returns: The Rose Anvil x Goral SMUGS Rerelease

The drop that disrupted expectations is back.

After selling out in minutes back in February, the Blood Core SMUGS return for a limited rerelease on May 1st.

What Is Blood Core Leather?

Blood Core is a leather unlike anything else, created by Rose Anvil and Siedel Tannery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At first glance, it’s black. But hidden beneath the surface is a deep, blood-red core that reveals itself over time, or instantly, if you’re feeling brave with a blade.

After the February release sold out, we partnered with Siedel once again to produce a second, equally limited batch of this one-of-a-kind leather, exclusively for this rerelease.

What Makes Blood Core SMUGS Special?

  • Handmade in the UK: Every pair crafted at our family-run factory with decades of shoemaking experience.

  • Rose Anvil’s Signature Aesthetic: Blood Core is designed to stand out and patina. 

  • Durability Tested: Rose Anvil doesn’t just design them, he tears them apart to prove they’re made to last.

  • Limited Drop: Once this batch is gone, it's gone.
