RegalStride Derby Shoes Overview

Crafted with the Finest Materials

• Upper Material: The RegalStride Derby Shoes are made from the finest Italian Museum Calf leather. This premium material is renowned for its unique marbled appearance, achieved through a special dyeing process that ensures the color penetrates deep into the leather, creating a rich, textured look with a natural, aged effect. The result is a shoe that exudes sophistication and character.
• Colors: Choose from elegant black grey or luxurious golden brown, each color offering a distinct yet timeless appeal.
• Lining: The interior of the shoe is lined with soft, supple sheepskin, providing a luxurious feel against the skin and ensuring all-day comfort.
• Insole: The insole is crafted from high-quality cowhide, known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. This ensures that your feet remain dry and comfortable, even during extended periods of wear.
• Outsole: The shoes feature the renowned Italian XL EXTRALIGHT sole, designed and produced by the prestigious Italian manufacturer FINPROJECT. This lightweight, cushioned sole offers exceptional comfort, durability, and slip resistance, making every step feel like a walk on the clouds.

Core Craftsmanship

• Aniline Dyeing: The full-grain calf leather is immersed in aniline dyes and then meticulously wiped with sponges to create a natural, uneven marbled effect. This process ensures that each shoe is unique, with a rich, textured appearance.
• Color Fixation: After dyeing, the leather undergoes a press fixation process to ensure the color penetrates deep into the leather, making it resistant to fading and scratches.
• Material Characteristics: The Italian Museum Calf leather is sourced from the finest young calf hides, known for their smooth texture and exceptional durability. The leather has a full, rich sheen and a soft feel, with fine creases that develop gracefully over time.

Comparison with Other Antique Finishes

• Museum Leather vs. Patina: Unlike Patina, which requires manual application of pigments and dyes on the finished shoe, Museum Leather achieves its antique look during the production stage. This results in a more durable finish that is less prone to wear and tear, offering a timeless look without the need for additional aging processes.

Advantages

• Efficiency: The Museum Leather process eliminates the need for post-production aging, ensuring that each pair of shoes delivers a vintage aesthetic right out of the box.
• Durability: The deep penetration of the dye ensures that the leather is highly resistant to wear, making it more durable than traditional Patina finishes.
