The D-Type 01 brings a modern edge to the classic monkey boot, sharpening its silhouette while honoring its utilitarian roots. We cleaned up the characteristic M sign of monkey boot and lowered the ankle height for more day to day use. A chunky Vibram outsole grounds the boot on a slightly tapered last, giving it a confident, contemporary stance.
The upper, made with deep, glossy oiled and waxed cowhide, softens and darkens with time, quietly recording the marks of every journey. Stitch-down construction adds enduring strength and water resistance, while the Vi-Lite sole keeps each step light and effortless.
Intentionally crafted by skilled artisans through traditional shoemaking methods at Factory Wan in China. We use the best quality materials and original production machines to create these shoes.
*Natural leather variations make each pair unique, with slight differences in color and texture from website photos.
