First Lineup Available Early

A new wave born from John Lobb's cherished craftsmanship and innovation... "LEVAH," an Italian-made casual shoe, symbolizes the evolving John Lobb under Artistic Director Paula Gerbase.

The materials are velveteen calf and suede. In addition to the standard colors of Chalk (white) and Dusk (navy), three debut season limited colors will be available: Stone (sand beige). The Stone color will be replaced by the next limited color for the Autumn/Winter season, so it's worth checking out soon.

Inspired by Cornwall's Nature and Landscapes

Paula Gerbase commented, "'LEVAH' is based on a tennis shoe we found in the John Lobb archives, likely manufactured in 1923. At the time, bespoke clients sought something like a walking shoe – an active, sporty, and lightweight option."
"Responding to requests for shoes that could be worn on weekends or during flights, this sports shoe was born. While it's a new type in John Lobb's current lineup, we've added a new interpretation to the original design, making it suitable for pairing with suits or denim."

The three colors available this season – Chalk, Dusk, and Stone – draw inspiration from the 2015-16 Autumn/Winter collection's theme: 'The Journey of Founder John Lobb from Cornwall to London.'

The unique nature and landscapes that John Lobb might have witnessed during his approximately 490-kilometer journey from Cornwall in southwest England, where he lived in 1851, are captured in the coloring.

These casual shoes, perfect for the upcoming season, are a must-see for fans.
