Natural cowhide leather with a distinctive aged, cracked texture, inspired by the leather used in Nike Dunk x Stranger Things. The surface features an irregular network of cracks, created through a special finishing process that stresses the grain layer, giving the material a raw, vintage character.
The leather is surface-dyed, allowing the cracks to subtly reveal the deeper color layer, enhancing the natural worn-in effect. Despite its distressed appearance, the material remains flexible while offering good structural stability, making it ideal for sneaker uppers.
