Fuga Black

【Gaerne Fuga Black Motorcycle On-Road Shoes Boots】Smooth upper made of carefully selected single-piece leather, and an obliquely offset opening. A riding boot with luxurious playfulness, only possible for a true craftsman.
With FUGA, we aimed to balance creating the necessary environment for riding with enhancing the shoe's original functions.
To create an ideal riding environment, the upper, which forms the instep of the shoe, is made from a single piece of leather, and the opening is offset. Forming with a single piece of leather is wasteful, as it requires a luxurious amount of leather, and this is reflected in the cost. However, the seamless form, along with its aesthetic beauty, comfortably fits the foot due to its flexibility. Additionally, the smooth surface with minimal irregularities allows for smooth contact with the motorcycle.
Furthermore, the offset opening realizes this concept more concretely. The shoelace position, which would otherwise hinder riding, is shifted to the outside, and the laces are secured with snap buttons. This creates a clean and smart appearance, enhancing the refined design.
【Upper Material】
ANFIBIO leather is a high-grade full-grain leather allowed only for Gaerne's high-end models, characterized by its extreme durability yet softness once broken in. It is also highly stain-resistant and has a certain degree of water resistance inherent in the material itself (though not completely waterproof). Dyed ANFIBIO leather dyes unevenly, creating a unique texture. Another significant characteristic of this leather is how its color changes over time.
【Sole Construction】
What distinguishes this shoe is the Norwegian Welt construction, commonly known as "Norvegiese." This method offers various advantages by stitching the shoe's upper, insole, and outsole together with a unique lockstitch. For example, the sole is thick and resistant to deformation, it has very high rigidity, it is robust and long-lasting, and the sole can be replaced. As it is a staple for high-end men's shoes, it has been the optimal method for making shoes sturdy and beautifully finished since ancient times. However, its drawback is the high cost due to the complex process involved. For this reason, many shoes may have a Norwegian or Goodyear appearance but are actually constructed differently. This shoe is made with the desire to deliver authenticity, disregarding such costs. Gaerne calls shoes like the No. 145 and FUGA "integral shoes," meaning "shoes that completely envelop the foot."
