Black leather wingtip derby shoes from RUDE GALLERY, the Tokyo label rooted in rock and roll, built up on thick rubber soles, worn and well kept in size 2.
The Piece
RUDE GALLERY was founded in Tokyo in 2003 and dresses the city’s rock and roll scene, borrowing from biker, rockabilly and punk wardrobes and finishing them with a tailor’s care. Its footwear follows the same line, classic shapes given an attitude.
Here a wingtip derby in polished black leather, with a sharp punched brogue toe and open lacing, sits on a deep ridged rubber sole about 4 cm (1.6 in) high, halfway between a dress shoe and a creeper. The tan leather lining carries the RUDE GALLERY name at the heel.
The leather has softened with wear and keeps a deep shine, and the soles have plenty of life left. Tag size 2. The outsole measures 30 cm (11.8 in) from heel to toe, so allow for the generous last when choosing your size.
