About This Item: The Addis is a minimal retro lace-up design that epitomizes our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. By sourcing the premium Wild Hide leather from small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and handcrafting the shoes in the country, we empower local makers and support the local communities. This not only ensures the quality and authenticity of the product but also aligns with our mission to create a positive social and environmental impact.

The natural imperfections and scars on the Wild Hide leather lend each pair of Addis shoes a unique character, celebrating the story and journey of the cattle. This dedication to authentic materials and artisanal craftsmanship is at the heart of the Soul of Africa range, which aims to preserve traditional techniques while providing economic opportunities to the makers.

Through the donation of a portion of the Addis' sales to the Soul of Africa Trust, we are able to further support local projects and initiatives that uplift the communities we work with. This holistic approach to product development and community engagement is a testament to our brand's commitment to conscious consumerism and meaningful social impact.
