The Lot.872 takes its outsole from a 1930s deck shoe, cut in a wave pattern originally developed to grip wet ship boards. Same construction as the Black×White, with the White×Black colourway reading slightly crisper and leaning more summer-oriented.
The upper is 100% cotton canvas, built around a curved-arch last typical of mid-century footwear and padded out with a 7mm cushioned insole. Comfortable on hard floors, and the canvas softens with wear. Made in Japan in measured runs.
Works well with light denim, lighter trousers, or the Lot.925 Animal Seal Shorts when you want the footwear to stay clean and let the rest of the outfit carry the weight.
