Valencia, the most fertile Spanish region on the Mediterranean, is the cradle of Snipe. Lateral thinking, to challenge the beaten track and champion important issues as sustainability, summarise what Snipe signifies. Therefore, it is no surprise that the mountainous nature reserve Sierra de Irta near Valencia acts as nominal godfather for the casual gents’ shoe Irta. An upper made out of premium, easy-care and, of course, chrome-free tanned Nubuck or smooth leather, as well as sleek, soft suede calf, will render Irta your favourite footwear for indulging walks, whether in the great outdoors or the city. Furthermore, its asymmetric selvage-shape and a rubber sole with recycled cork grant this design an extraordinary, modern look. Anti cheesy feet: Premium chrome-free tanned leather promotes natural respiration to cater for an optimal feet-climate. This is completed by the reversible insole; in a twinkling you can change from the Nubuck leather lining to the natural linen side.
