Be positive Hnb Derby

BePositive x HNB: HNB stands for Handcrafted No Brand, which the artisan duo particularly emphasizes in the development of this small capsule collection. The small laboratory in the heart of the gourmet destination, the Riviera del Brenta, has preserved the true tradition of shoemaking by creating art with their own hands, far removed from any marketing logic.

Three styles have been realized using the handcrafted Goodyear construction. This production technique, developed by Charles Goodyear in the late 19th century, involved the use of a protective strip made of soft wood around the entire circumference of the shoes, which was attached at the junction with a wooden base, thereby connecting the inside of the shoes to the sole. An insulated and comfortable midsole is then inserted into the space between the shell and the upper.

In the second phase of this process, the same protective strip is also applied to the upper. This method is characterized by the use of inner shells and was previously considered particularly valuable, as shoes made with this technique could be replaced multiple times, thus extending their lifespan.

Color: Upper made of Italian black leather with a dark brown ribbed knit sock. The sole is made of natural leather with a serrated rubber profile.
