Please Contact Me For Correct International Shipping Costs. The Ultimate Maurizio Altieri/linea Grail, In Smooth Calf Leather, Not The More Common (But Still Rare) Reversed Version. Original Piece From Circa 2005, Never Remade By The Later Cdiem Brand. Your Chance To Own Avant-Garde History - A True Museum Piece. Made Of Thin But Strong Calf Leather That Keeps Its Shape, With The Defining Suture In The Middle And An Elegant Upturned Toebox. Essentially Made With Just 2 Pieces Of Leather, It Results In An Unusual Wave-Like Texture Along The Sides, But Compared To Guidi Leathers, Is More Sturdy And Keeps Its Shape Despite Its Thinness. Condition Is Very Good For Its Age, Now Nearly 20 Years Old, But Wear Is Of Course Noticeable. The Laces And Sole Protection Are New And Will Last Several Years. The Full Sole Length Has Been Protected From Day One. There Is Some Scuffing, Loose Threads, And Inner Lining Wear But These Shoes Are Fully Ready To Wear And Have Been Very Well Taken Care Of, Including Regular Conditioning. Original Retail Was $3000 Back In The Day, Similar To M_Moria Prices, And You Will Unlikely Ever See These For Sale Again. Completely Untagged As With Much Of Original Linea, But Best Fits A Size 42 If You Plan To Wear An Insole (Essential To Extend The Life Of This Beautiful Pair). Could Fit A Size 43 Without An Insole Due To The Extended Toebox. Outsole Measurement Is A Bit Deceiving Compared To Other Artisanal Footwear Such As Carpe Diem Since The Construction Is Truly Minimal And Lightweight, True To The Linea Ethos. These Are Perfect Spring/summer Derbies, Lightweight, Thin Leather And Easy To Wear. I Realize It's Highly Improbable But I'll Consider Trades For A Larger Size Or Other Linea/sartoria Pieces. Outsole Length: 29.5 Cm | Carpe Diem x Carpe Diem Linea Calf Leather Sutured Derbies Shoes in Black, Men's (Size 9)
