Back in April, the man behind JBF Customs, Jacob Ferrato, gave us an early look at his first made-from-scratch sneaker. Now, we're finally learning more about the official release details.
Known as the Primo High, the sneaker's upper is composed entirely of vegetable tanned natural leather and lined with a soft dove suede. Resting atop an Italian Margom sole, these give a new meaning to quality, as each sneaker has been handmade personally by Ferrato. The result is an aesthetic that manages to be both sophisticated and premium without venturing into gaudy territory.
As for the name, it's actually about as straightforward as it sounds — it signifies premium and means "first" in Italian, which serves as a nod to Ferrato's heritage. These will release tomorrow at 1 p.m. EST for $1,000 from JBF's website.
