Made to Order: “The Mayor" Women's Sneakers
This urban utility sneaker is 1 of 250 handmade in 2024 collaboratively by Pingree Detroit and COMUNITYmade in our factories in Detroit and Los Angeles, with locally sourced, sustainable materials, including surplus(upcycled) leather from the Detroit auto industry.
PLEASE NOTE: Your pair is 1 of 10 pairs made each month and will be made-to-order and is handmade and shipped in the order in which it’s received. We have sold out of our summer production runs and are currently taking orders for our 1st autumn production run that will be made and shipped before November 30th 2024.
EVERY STEP MATTERS: Each pair has character and purpose. Just like the people who make it. Right here, in the United States. Designed and meticulously crafted with care to last a lifetime. Able to be resoled by our team in Detroit when the outsole wears out. Tough enough for year-round adventure, comfortable enough to wear every day.
The leather used on your Mayors will have a texture and shade that may vary slightly from the leather pictured since your pair is crafted with small batch leather reclaimed from the production of new cars.
FEATURES:
- Designed and sustainably handmade in the USA
- Sidewall stitched so we can resole your sneakers
- Crafted with Nappa leather reclaimed from the Detroit auto industry
- Uniquely numbered- your Pingree Mayor is yours and yours alone
- Standard C Width and True to Size
HOW THEY’RE MADE: When the Fall production run orders come in, Pingree Detroit is cutting each of the 500 pairs in Detroit, doing a portion of the assembly, and then we’re co-manufacturing them with COMUNITYmade in Los Angeles. Our teams are learning from each other and increasing capacity, as a part of this exciting east-meets-west American manufacturing collaboration.
