The D-Type 01V is a quiet, deliberate evolution of the original D-Type 01, retaining its experimental spirit while subtly refining its character. We replaced the traditional eyelets with D-rings, lending the silhouette a distinct industrial elegance. This modern form is completed by a low-profile Vibram outsole that softens the lines, translating its bold character into an effortless shoe for everyday wear.
The upper is crafted from C.F. Stead’s Waxy Retan Kudu, a full-bodied leather marked by natural scars, a matte sheen, and a rugged elegance that evolves beautifully over time. Its texture grows richer with wear, while stitch-down construction and the Vibram Roccia Newflex outsole delivers strength, protection, and steady comfort.
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.

SIZE AND FIT
Our fit is generous and true to EU whole sizes. The leather will soften and stretch in width over time. If you’re between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one, as tight shoes will not lengthen, while a slightly roomier fit can be adjusted with an insole.
