[Pre-order item, expected to arrive at the end of August 2025] The 8 Monkeys Grand Sportif black [TM2]

This Grand SportifIt is,The 2 Monkeys' classic bootsIt was created with the aim of lengthening the Sportif and making it more classic.

In the United States until around the 1920s, short boots were"Oxfords," now called bootsThe 6-8 inch high shoes are called "shoes".They were called "Boos" at the time.The word "tsu" means 10 to 16 inches,"Shoes that reach the calf or knee are the most important thing," he said.I was there.

The length of the Grand Sportif at that time"Boo"Tsu" is a job that involves danger outdoors and outdoor activities.They were widely worn for various activities. The mocha toe, the biggest feature of sportif shoes, was also the standard shape of outdoor shoes at the time. Yes, sportif shoes were actually worn in places like sports (hunting was one of the typical sports at the time).

The opening of the shoe features a belt, a detail that was previously seen on hunting boots.

If you wear jodhpurs or other pants tucked into your boots, you'll feel like an American hunter from the late 19th century or early 20th century.

The biggest difference between this and a regular sportif is the leather on the upper.Horse leather from ItalyThe leather used is brown leather from Italy that has been dyed black in Japan, giving it a brown core.

softThis horse leather is comfortable to wear,It's so soft you wouldn't believe it's an inch-long boot.You can wear it comfortably.After dyeing, the fabric is finished with pigments, giving it a rich texture, including a natural brown core.You can enjoy the changes that occur over time.

Like the standard sportif, it is made using the Goodyear welt method and the Mackay method.The waist is narrowed by combining the two, which creates a slightly higher pitch.The heels and other parts give the boots a graceful curve, like those of the good old days.I'm drawing.

This Grand Sportif is a limited edition item for the season, and we don't know when the next production will be. Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
