Rockland Blucher - 2030 - Ridgeway - Maryam Black Patent Horsebutt

Description

The Viberg x DR Maryam Black Patent Horsebutt Rockland Blucher is a casual derby design originated by founder Edwin Viberg in the 1960s but was never completed. His grandson, Brett Viberg, built on the design and has seen it to fruition in a modern format. This two-piece blucher pattern was developed with a continuous vamp and tongue, balanced with open lacing, an elongated quarter, and a stitched-in counter pocket to allow the rare unlined, welted construction option for a light-on-foot, heavy-duty shoe. This exclusive-to-Division Road Rockland Blucher uses a limited batch Horsebutt from Maryam Tannery that's vegetable-tanned to maintain the natural character of the horsebutt hides, black drum dyed and finished with a linseed lacquer for a vintage-inspired patent leather that will burnish and develop a unique patina. This rare leather using densely structured, full-weight horsebutt hides will roll like shell while conforming to the foot to offer durability, flexibility, and comfort in a style that coordinates with various dress to casual ensembles. Formed on the 2030 Last for an elegant dress-officer silhouette, this shoe is complemented with tonal specifications throughout to include blind eyelets, French binding, a 360-degree black leather storm welt with a scalloped edge, and a black leather midsole, all atop a British-made Ridgeway sole to provide grit and traction in a sleek design that commands attention and conquers conditions. Setting the bar even higher, this shoe leverages Goodyear welting using traditional techniques coupled with channeled insoles produced by Viberg's exacting craftspeople. The result is a lifetime piece that will withstand the elements in a distinctive style and evolve for the modern-leaning and vintage-inspired alike.
