EU 43, made in Portugal, with the original box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long balanced Tokyo restraint with Parisian ease. This pair takes the classic two-eyelet desert boot, a shape that has been a staple of menswear for decades, and gives it a colder-weather character: the interior is lined with a soft curled pile, and the sole is cut into a row of sawtooth ridges that grips well and adds a graphic edge from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suede is a deep, matte black that absorbs light, and the stitching and laces follow the same tone, so the whole boot reads as a single silhouette. The Kenzo logo is pressed into the suede at the back of the ankle, quietly present rather than loud. The opening is generous, the collar is soft, and the profile is low and clean enough to wear with tailored trousers as readily as with denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured by hand: height 11.5 cm (4.5 in), heel 3.5 cm (1.4 in), sole length 32 cm (12.6 in), sole width 13 cm (5.1 in). The size is EU 43, noted as approximately 28 cm (11.0 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-eyelet lace-up desert boot, black suede\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark pile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribbed rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU 43 (approximately 28 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5 cm (4.5 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 cm (1.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 cm (12.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 cm (5.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn and winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portugal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean and well kept, with no conspicuous marks or damage; any light signs of wear are shown in the photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (very good)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embossed Kenzo mark, the lining and the sole are all photographed from several angles.
