SIGNAL_12 ☰ Black Caged Split Leather Shoes

The SIGNAL_12 ☰ is a caged split leather shoe built on a chunky lugged rubber sole — low-profile silhouette, open strap construction over textile panels, single buckle closure at the ankle. Black only. No laces, no excess.

The strapped upper lets air move through while the rubber platform keeps you grounded on city pavement, transit floors, late-night concrete. The raw-edge textile between the leather straps reads intentional — structured disorder, not unfinished. Buckle hardware is brass-toned, minimal, functional.

Most leather shoes in this price range give you a closed solid upper with no visual interest below the ankle. The SIGNAL_12 skips that entirely — the caged construction is the design. $99.99 USD. Sizes EU 39–44 (US 6–10). If you're between sizes, go up.

FAQ

Do the SIGNAL_12 shoes fit true to size?
Yes — they run true to standard EU sizing. The buckle strap gives minor width adjustment room; if you're between sizes, go up one.

What are these shoes actually made of?
Split leather straps form the caged upper over textile mesh panels, stitched together with a raw-edge collar finish. The outsole is chunky lugged rubber with a breathable interior lining.

How are these different from regular leather shoes at this price?
Standard shoes at this range use a closed solid leather upper. The SIGNAL_12 uses an open caged strap construction — more airflow, a visually heavier sole, and a silhouette that reads avant-garde rather than conventional.

What fits well with these shoes?
Wide-leg black trousers, cropped cargos, or slim dark denim. The chunky sole creates height contrast under slim cuts. They anchor a darkwear or underground minimalist fit without competing with the rest of the outfit.

How do I clean split leather shoes?
Do not machine wash. Wipe leather straps with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid soaking — the shoe is not waterproof.
