Buttero’s soul – and sole – is bound to Tuscany
 
Buttero emerges from the sun beaten hills of Tuscany: the best traditions of Italian shoemaking refined into leather footwear of premium quality. Handmade by craftsmen in Stabbia – Tuscany, the production company honors as of today the Tuscan recipe book with simple, honest, and quality local ingredients. Buttero uses only the best local vegetable-tanned leathers named Vachetta, which will age beautifully with usage, like the region’s famous wines. The sneakers strike with their anatomically shaped leather inner sole and the breathable leather uppers in combination with the seamed and vulcanized rubber outsole.

14 oz. Berlin carries the sneakers from Buttero in a low- and a highcut version, made of canvas in the colors red, royal and natural.

Lightning Bolt  Aloha Spirit at 14 oz. Berlin

Lightning Bolt was founded in Hawaii in the summer of 1971 by Gerry Lopez, world champion surfer of the Banzai-Pipeline and Jack Shipley, surfboard shaping guru and North Shore legend. Forty years later, the brand has reintroduced itself in the US and internationally with surf veteran Jonathan Paskowitz leading the effort. Lightning Bolt represents a philosophy that surfing, in its truest form, is a way of life rather than just another sport.
