Hermosa Leather Sneaker, Elmwood

Burnishing is the process of heating and pressing leather until it develops a nice patina, bringing natural oils to the top layer so they're more visible. These kicks are made from a burnished kid leather that's been specially made for Seavees, and their rubber soles provide a comfortable base for casual wear or long walks through the city. Obviously, these things'll get better-looking with age because the leather's so damn nice. We know you know that, but we still have to say it.

We all have dreams. And sometimes they end up on a shelf. Seavees was quite literally put on a shelf for nearly 40 years before it was rediscovered at a second hand shop in Tokyo and brought back to life in California—the state where dreams come true, or in their case, where they get a second chance.
