Spanish-Made Minimalist Sneakers

The Erving Silhouette Fuses American and European Culture

— March 5, 2018 — Fashion
Oliver Cabell is a two-week-old footwear label that will be launching a pair of minimalist sneakers in March. Referencing an iconic 1920s basketball-inspired cap-toe silhouette, the Erving is a nod to American culture with a luxurious European twist. Putting into use the most premium Italian materials, the minimalist sneakers boast a perforated full-grain Tuscan leather upper with hits of supple calfskin lining. Going one step further, Oliver Cabell designed the luxe footwear to incorporate an Italian 70 Shore A rubber outsole, as well as a superb pair of waxed cotton laces.

The Erving minimalist sneakers come in three colors: white, black and pastel pink. The subdued palette makes the shoe extremely versatile and adaptive when it comes to styling. To ensure precision and impeccable detailing in each pair, Oliver Cabell hand-stitches and laces its minimalist sneakers in Albacete, Spain.
