The very first chrome free leather sneakers in the US

ITALIC x Zeology Leather

Italic, a direct-to-consumer e-commerce marketplace in the USA, has launched a pilot program of Zeology tanned leather minimalistic white sneakers. The Zeology sneakers are offered in three styles. With these sneakers Italic is presenting the very first chrome free tanned leather sneakers in the US market.

The sneakers are made by Tophide, a pioneering shoemaker that makes shoes the old-fashioned way: by hand. Tophide prides itself on using chrome-free leather, which means every pair of Tophide shoes is tanned with natural materials instead of harmful metals, ensuring safer conditions for their employees and community.

This lightweight, comfortable hi-top is made from a unique, high-quality leather composition that optimizes grain tightness and heat-resistance. Using tannery-specific Zeology technology, our leather is treated sustainably without compromising on overall durability.

The leather is produced at Xuzhou Nanhai Tannery, a Partner of Zeology.
