There are sneakers and then there are sneakers. These high tops from Hard Graft are ones you don’t want to get dirty. Made from soft and supple Italian suede in black or grey lined with calfskin on top of a cushy crepe sole, they’re geared for comfort and style versus any real athletic endeavors. The special finish of the upper gives it a dry waxed look, and the tan laces match the sole nicely. Hard Graft bills them as artisan footwear since everything has been carefully sourced and handcrafted to meet their stringent expectations for quality. If you think the price tag is high, you haven’t experienced how good Hard Graft products are.
