Santo Studios and Ryan Sheckler recently teamed up to design and release a new shoe—the Clemente—as their first-ever "Italian leather handcrafted everyday wear sneaker." Italian leather!? Swipe through for a closer look below:
The kicks are a celebration of Sheckler’s skateboarding career, the streets of San Clemente, CA (Shecks hometown), and as Santo Studios adds, "the timeless spirit of Italian artisan craftsmanship."
Seems like these shoes are right up Sheckler's alley. They might not technically be "skate shoes" but they are designed to be "everyday wear" shoes, so hey, skate 'em if you want! Makes me wonder how Italian leather would stand up to grip tape?
At any rate, Ryan was a big part of making this collab happen and played a major role from concept to completion. The comments on the post are generally positive, too. Judging by all the flame emojis, people are fired up.
Follow @santostudios for more updates on releases. They are limited, though, so if you want a pair—get on it!
