The HAKIM is a cap toe Oxford in premium suede. Soft, napped, matte — the opposite of the mirror-polished shoes in this collection. The cap toe seam is clean and precise, with tone-matched stitching that only reveals itself on close inspection. Closed Oxford lacing. Rounded toe last. A shoe that is formal without being loud.
Midnight navy black suede. Warm tan cognac suede. Two finishes, both understated, both deliberate. The sole is a mahogany leather forefoot shank — deep rosewood against the dark rubber tread. Seen from below, it is as considered as the shoe above.
Premium suede leather upper — soft napped matte finish · cap toe seam with tone-matched stitching · midnight navy black · warm tan cognac. Closed Oxford lacing · 4 eyelets. Leather lining. Hybrid sole · mahogany leather forefoot shank · Barcon Getta script branding · dark navy ribbed rubber forefoot and heel.
Named HAKIM — meaning "medical doctor" in Amharic, the language of Ethiopia. The healer. The one who restores. For the man who gives more than he takes and asks for nothing in return.

Cleaning
For surface dirt — a slightly damp cloth, no soap. For deeper marks — a small amount of saddle soap on a damp cloth, worked gently into the leather, wiped clean, then dried with a soft cloth.
Conditioning
Apply a natural leather conditioner — beeswax-based or lanolin-based — every 3 to 6 months. Use a soft cloth, work in small circular motions, allow to absorb for 30 minutes, then buff lightly.
Water
East African full grain leather is naturally water resistant. If the shoe gets wet — wipe dry immediately and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a hair dryer or place near a radiator.
Storage
Store with shoe trees when not in use. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods. Use the dust bag provided.
The Patina
The darkening and character that develops over months of wear is not wear — it is the leather responding to you. Condition regularly and it will continue to develop for years. No two pairs age identically. That is the point.
