Men's Racing Sneaker in Le Mans 1971 917

***Limited Edition and Quantities***

Some records are made to be broken. This one held for 39 years. At the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Porsche 917 #22, dressed in the famous Martini Racing livery, took the overall win while covering 5,335 km (about 3,315 miles) at an average of 222 km/h (about 138 mph). That distance and speed record went unbeaten until 2010. The Le Mans 1971 917 is our tribute to that legendary run: a crisp white leather upper swept by a deep navy arc, five webbing loops in navy, light blue, and red running down the vamp like racing stripes, and the number 22 roundel ready for the grid.

* Ships with white laces, plus an extra set of dark navy laces to suit your mood.

* Each box also includes a second pair of firmer insoles, so you can switch into Sport Mode whenever the drive calls for it.

* Clean body, vintage soul: the toe is hand-finished with a subtle patina, like a racer that's already logged a few laps. It's not wear or dirt. It's a deliberate part of our hand process.

The Racing Sneaker is 100% leather, hand-crafted in Portugal in a small factory. It's designed to be the perfect driving shoe, and the buttery soft and supple leather is comfortable for all-day wear. The details reward a closer look: navy contrast stitching fans across the heel, a bold black-and-white pepita (houndstooth) fabric on the heel nods to the paddock style of the era, and a soft grey leather lining keeps things comfortable. The casual luxury quality fits in anywhere, but the eye-catching colors and design mean you'll never just blend in. Wear it anywhere – car meets, the track, work, events, or a nice dinner. The pure natural rubber sole provides stability and comfort, with a bottom profile modeled after car tires. Side tabs wrap the highest wear area on the sides for extra protection. A rounded racing-inspired heel gives a perfect grip and allows for precise action on the pedals, whether you use two or three…getting you to that checkered flag!
