Why choose black leather sneakers?
Here’s why:
- Maximum versatility: black pairs with every colour and style
- Slimming effect: black shapes the shoe and visually elongates the leg
- Easy care: less prone to visible stains than lighter colours
- Visual durability: creases and marks are less noticeable, even over time
👉 A reliable choice for work, city life, evenings or weekends.

- Apply black cream or nourishing milk every 2 weeks
- Use waterproof spray from first wear
- Let dry naturally away from direct heat
