Rockland Blucher - 1035 - Lactae Hevea - Tobacco Janus Calf Suede

Description

The Viberg x DR Tobacco Janus Calf Suede 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 Janus Calf Suede, regarded as the finest suede in the world, tanned by the storied C.F. Stead. This special recipe uses full-weight calf butts hand-selected for their consistency and tension that are aniline dyed and finished with a finely sanded nap that has an unmatched natural luster and luxuriously soft hand that will perform in the worst of conditions. Molded on the 1035 Last recognized for its classic English rounded toe and accommodating form-fitting casual-dress silhouette, this shoe is complemented with an unstructured toe, blind eyelets, French binding, a natural leather storm welt and midsole atop the sustainably made, comfortable, and high-traction Lactae Hevea Crepe Sole for a fully functional style piece. 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.
