【Design】
The back zip boot “988” is an iconic model with an unshakable status. This special edition is based on its mid-length, single-sole version, crafted on a wider last to increase the foot width. The whole cut method uses a single piece of leather for the upper, maximizing the leather’s natural suppleness and drape. Without seam tension, it creates a unique fit that envelops the entire foot.

【Silhouette and Fit】
While inheriting the sharp form of the classic model, this design allows extra width for better fitting, making it accessible to those who previously couldn’t wear the boots due to narrow width. The pattern is designed so that with wear, elegant wrinkles naturally form forward, and the shaft gradually stands up. Enjoy the transformation from a flat initial shape to a three-dimensional, lively expression.

【Material Texture and Wearability】
Crafted from GUIDI leather dyed by product tumbler (object dye), it offers a unique glossy feel with a slightly oily finish, along with rough, varied markings that make each pair distinctive. The dye deeply penetrates the leather core, so the color matures uniquely to the wearer’s own tone, showcasing the artisan brand’s signature aging process.

【GUIDI Leather Characteristics and Care Instructions】
GUIDI products use a special manufacturing method to maximize the natural leather texture and aging. Please understand the following before purchase.

・Natural leather features: Due to the material nature, fine scratches, wrinkles, uneven color, and scuffs may be seen. These reflect the leather’s original character.

・Color transfer: Using the brand’s unique dye technique, the dye fully penetrates the leather core. Color fixing treatment is deliberately not applied to preserve the unique texture. Therefore, especially in early wear stages, friction or moisture may cause color transfer to clothing or socks. Please be cautious when coordinating with whites or light-colored garments.

・Recommended care: To reduce color transfer, applying a leather preserving and waterproof spray over the entire surface before wear is recommended. This can help suppress dye bleeding.
