A Coveted Masterpiece of Technique for Shoemakers and Connoisseurs Alike

The 2009 Year Model, "JOHN LOBB 2009," is the ultimate shoe, meticulously crafted with John Lobb's unparalleled artisanal skill, focusing on exquisite color and style.

This shoe is born from an exceptionally advanced technique: a single piece of leather, normally sufficient for one pair of shoes, is cut for each shoe individually. These pieces are then spirally stitched together. Precisely laser-cut with absolute accuracy, the single leather sheet is then three-dimensionally assembled by hand, stitch by stitch, with not a millimeter of deviation, to create the "JOHN LOBB 2009."



The black of the Moonlight Calf, evoking "shadows of black," subtly reveals other colors beneath the surface. This hidden hue appears distinctly only in the stitching and laces, while elsewhere it is so subtle and delicate that discerning it within the overall tone is a challenge.
This unique colored stitching can be beautifully maintained with the included special cream and wax.
