Kiton Light Blue Cotton Leather Suede Espadrillas

three materials in a summer shoe is an ambitious proposition — and in these kiton espadrilles in blue leather, suede and cotton, it is an entirely justified one. each material is present because it contributes something that the other two cannot. leather for the structure and the luminosity that gives the shoe its definition and its authority. suede for the warmth and the tactile depth that makes the blue feel rich and organic rather than applied and literal. cotton for the breathability and the natural ease that the espadrille format demands — and that neither leather nor suede alone can fully provide in the heat of an italian summer. the three together produce a material composition of genuine complexity — not the complexity of decoration or embellishment, but the complexity of different natural surfaces carrying the same colour in different ways, creating a shoe that is visually interesting from every angle and entirely cohesive despite its material variety. the blue holds it all together: warm, confident and possessed of the particular authority that italian design has always known how to extract from this colour. kiton's construction ensures that the ambition of the materials is matched by the execution of the shoe: the last is considered, the sole is appropriate to the espadrille format and the finish of every join between the three materials reflects the standards the house maintains without exception. for the man who understands that the best summer shoes are made from the best summer materials — and who is not satisfied with fewer than three of them in a single shoe. available on mrpianik.it at discounts from 60% off boutique retail price. leather, suede, cotton, blue — summer footwear at its most considered.
