INTRODUCING: Will it Shoe? - Episode 1 - Scrap leather

 INTRODUCING: 

 

A little project that we’ve been working hard on over the last few months, a series of Youtube videos where we put our team to the test by challenging them to make pairs of shoes out of weird and wonderful materials.

In our first episode of Will it Shoe? we're taking some leather scraps and seeing if the crafts people here at GORAL can frankenstein them back together to make our minimal white sneaker The Mellor II.

We talk a bit about the history of this style of trainer, show the full manufacturing process behind them and tell you how we got on working with the waste leather.

Check it out above and drop a comment with what material you’d like to see us have a go at!

Enjoy!
