Back in Five – Unboxing

The Levah, by John Lobb, has been on the radar ever since it was introduced by the Northampton icon. The market is filled with minimalist sneakers, and how is John Lobb going to separate the Levah from what’s available? My first impression of the Levah is the details. The luxe suede, leather cap, and fully lined leather footbed are nice. The side view is simple, but the top view reveals its unique shape.

The Levah is available in dusk (midnight) suede, stone (tan) suede, and chalk velveteen calf for $670. Made in Italy. We did not order a run of these because we wanted to give them a test run, but we will be more than happy to help you place a special order.

I’ll update you in a few months to see how the Levah “ages”.

Alden FD’s at LSDT

Downtown has just received some Alden FD’s. The limited selection is only available in-store in a variation of styles from 6.5 – 10 US. The FD (factory defect) is essentially a factory second that did not meet Alden’s quality standard, and they are offered at a discounted price. This is a great opportunity to buy your 1st Alden or add a weekday warrior to your rotation. Stop by Leather Soul Downtown and see what’s available in your size.
