Gangwani wanted something that was more than everyday; a piece with jagged complexities & intricate detail.
The curvaceous cuts embodied by structural chainstitching. The silhouette features an adjustable backstrap connected to a quick release military buckle. The front strap is “X” down for stability, while for decoration connecting between two d-rings is a DNA king cobra done in a thin white paracord to match the stitch.
The upper is all leather. A malleable yet sturdy dark green for the base… for the straps and flames a thin brown leather inlayed & stitched with a laser etched signature on black leather. For comfort I used @birkenstocks for the footbeds & china ripple soles @vibram for that perfect traction…
VERTICAL! This shoot was pure balance…
16 hours of hand sewing later & then some… for a total of 24 hours in total construction.
