The Abington is a handmade premium sneaker with derby construction and an oversized leather toe cap design that draws inspiration from vintage baseball and basketball footwear.
Double stitched at pressure points for added strength, all stitching to the upper is otherwise hidden throughout and finished with subtle blind eyelet lacing and a soft padded collar. Fully lined with luxuriously soft natural leather, complete with extremely comfortable hand-finished Crown Northampton insoles. The custom-made Crown Northampton sole unit offers strength, durability, and comfort all in a lightweight base which is then securely attached with sidewall stitching, allowing for resoling in our factory at a later date if required. Further details include a Crown embossed padded tongue, premium waxed laces, handwritten internal style notes, and an extra set of insoles that can be placed underneath the existing insoles to help tailor the fit if necessary.
The sneaker collection is handmade to order in our Northampton, England factory using only the finest leathers sourced from some of the best tanneries in the world such as CF Stead in Leeds, England, and the Horween Company in Chicago, USA.
