{"product_id":"ragusian","title":"Ragusian","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ragusian is a study in tonal duality — two textures, one color, one intention. The main body of the upper is smooth, polished calfskin leather; the vamp is genuine crocodile, its bold structured scales sitting flush against the calfskin in seamless transition. Both are hand-painted from scratch in Bordeaux Noir: a deep, dark wine-red that pools at the toe and lifts slightly toward the collar, where the calfskin takes on an almost lacquered finish. The result is a sneaker that reads as monochromatic from a distance, and extraordinary up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath it, a balloon-style thermo sole with a translucent outer shell and white inner filling gives the shoe its signature frosted, cloud-like base — quiet enough to let the upper command all attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a Kind — this exact shoe will never be made again.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted smooth calfskin upper — Bordeaux Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine crocodile vamp — bold structured scales, tonal to upper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully hand-painted from scratch — seamless color across both materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalloon thermo sole — translucent outer shell, white inner filling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavy blue leather lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed laces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Türkiye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #c0392b;\"\u003e⚠ THIS ITEM CANNOT BE SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs with all handcrafted exotic leather goods, subtle variations in texture, scale pattern, and color are a natural characteristic of the material — no two pairs are identical.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: This is a showroom sample that travels with us to private client meetings.
