ACME Shoemaker

Before the final pair, there is the fitting pair. Made on a last cut from the client‘s own measurements, in the same style and the same leather as the shoes to follow.

The fitting decides what happens next.

A wholecut leaves the alligator uninterrupted. The scales run from toe to heel without a seam to break them, and the black keeps the pattern in relief rather than on show.

Made bespoke for a client in Shanghai.

8026 Wingtip oxford

One colour, a hundred shades.

The Balmoral Oxford in emerald patina — bright green at the toe, deepening to near-black along every seam. Hand-antiqued, so no two pairs are ever alike.

8018 Wilde Punched Captoe Oxford

Every detail is unique

Purple-black patina — the kind of colour that reads as black until the light catches it, then shifts to deep plum. A client‘s favourite, chosen for a Chelsea boot built for the colder months.
Commissioned for a client in Beijing.

A saddle oxford earns its name from that band across the instep — part structure, part styling. This one was built entirely to spec, to sit alongside a bespoke casual suit rather than a standard one.

The texture does the talking here — peccary‘s natural grain against the clean architecture of a five-eyelet derby. Not a material you see often on a shoe this formal.
A Korean commission, built to stand apart.

A wholecut built to actually be worn — not just admired. Ebony patina on a single piece of leather, no lace to tie, a steel plate at the toe and Vibram underfoot for the commute.

Made for a client in Korea who wanted the formality without the fuss.
