From DEEP inside the vault... back to where it all began... handcrafted Hightop Boat Shoes.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly when these were made, but it would have been pre our September 2013 Kickstarter campaign launch. So we either 'crafted these in our original Whistler, BC garage based studio, or shortly after migrating to Vancouver's Chinatown in the summer of '13.
They came home to us in June 2023, and though I strongly debated keeping them... it's time to say goodbye. They were beautifully maintained, so though they were PRELOVED, there's little visible wear.
Throughout the life of our lil' business, if we ever had a signature anything... THIS EXACT PAIR was it.
If they speak to you, I'll cover the cost to ship wherever in the world you hang your hat.
