KLEMAN + forét Suede Derby Shoe - Black

Forét is excited to announce a collaboration with their (and our) friends at KLEMAN, a brand dedicated to creating timeless, high-quality shoes inspired by authentic workwear. With KLEMAN's legacy spanning over 75 years, forét aim to craft styles that reflect our shared design philosophy.

Forét designed a distinctive chunky derby shoe that perfectly balances form and function. Made in France, this shoe features a natural rubber sole for durability and comfort, a seamed top, and a minimalist single-eyelet and single-hook design. In a nod to the shared ethos, the words "slow" and "down" are subtly embossed on the top. A contrasting green accent on the back strap adds an unexpected detail, while the shoe itself is crafted from premium European leathers sourced from Leather Working Group responsible tanneries. Available in two versatile colorways—classic black, combining suede and leather, and dark brown suede—this shoe is a testament to quality craftsmanship and responsible practices.
