Style & Materials

Black Patent
Crafted from supple, high-quality patent leather, this version offers a striking, reflective finish that commands attention under stage lights. Delivered with a flexible suede sole and a sleek, Oxford-style silhouette with a closed 5-eyelet lace system. -
Black Nubuck
Made from soft, micronized nubuck leather, this model brings a refined, understated texture to your movements. It features the same floor-friendly suede sole and lace-up design for a snug fit.
Performance & Comfort
- 2.5 cm Stable Heel
Both models feature a modest yet firm heel height—around 2.5 cm—offering excellent support, ease of posture, and effortless movement across smooth surfaces.
- Dance-Optimized Suede Sole
The full suede sole is engineered for fluid gliding and precise turns typical of ballroom and standard dance styles. (To preserve performance, avoid outdoor wear.)
