ELI | HOPE GOLD The Eli is my newest silhouette as an independent shoe designer. It was designed with my son (Elijah) and his journey in mind. With each detail comes purpose. The HOPE Gold is one of the most meaningful colorways for me. Gold is the official color for childhood cancer awareness, so this colorway helps share Eiljah's journey as he battled brain cancer as a small child, as well as the current obstacles he continues to overcome as an adult. The silver logo on the lateral and medial sides connect to the official color of brain cancer awareness, which is grey. The panels consist of a soft, Napa leather, as well as breathable, mesh underlays and lining. The gold colored rubber sole is soft, but firm for everyday wear. The logo on the tongue, heel counter, and insole is an image my son would draw of him and I hanging out when he was five years old and was first in remission from brain cancer. Each pair comes in a matte, grey/silver and gold box with metallic gold branding and a dust bag. My hope is that people will not only see value in the premium materials, but also in the messaging. *Sizing. Shoes run true to size and are listed in men's whole sizes. If you wear a half size and prefer a regular/snug, we recommend going down to the nearest full size. (Example: if you wear a men's size 10.5, size down to a size 10).
