Blood Core SMUGS

The sneaker built like a boot. Based on a one-of-one pair of high tops made from an old shearling bomber jacket we designed and crafted the "MUGGS" to keep your feet both warm and stylish during the winter months.

However, we didn't want to stop here and introduced 'SMUGS' for the spring-summer season, keeping your feet dry all year round.

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.

What Makes Blood Core SMUGS Stand Out?

THE FOUR KEY STAGES OF SHOEMAKING CRAFTSMANSHIP

CLICKING

The clicking process is a crucial step in shoe manufacturing, where the individual leather pieces that make up the upper are cut into precise shapes before being assembled. This stage gets its name from the sound the machines make as they cut through the material.

CLOSING

The closing process in shoe manufacturing refers to the stage where the individual components of the shoe upper, such as the vamp, quarters, and tongue, are sewn or stitched together to form the complete upper structure of the shoe.

LASTING

The lasting process is a critical stage in shoe manufacturing, where the shoe's upper is molded into its final shape and attached to the sole. This process gives the shoe its structure, fit, and comfort, making it one of the most important steps in creating a well-constructed shoe.

FINALISING

The shoes undergo a thorough inspection and refinement before they are packaged and shipped to you. This process is critical for ensuring that each pair of shoes meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
