VDR//POMMEL_07 ∆ — Chunky Platform Derby Shoes

The VDR//POMMEL_07 ∆ is a chunky-platform Derby built on a split leather upper with a two-tone patchwork panel — black patent toe cap meeting a beige matte body — set on a thick ridged rubber outsole that adds real height without the instability of a stacked heel. It reads formal from the ankle up and street from the sole down.

Four-eyelet lace-up closure, PU-lined interior, cushioned PU insole. The kind of shoe you wear to a late gallery opening and don't change out of when the night moves somewhere louder. The all-Black colorway runs the same silhouette clean — no contrast, no break, just weight and presence.

Where most platform dress shoes split the difference awkwardly between formal and casual, the POMMEL_07 commits to both without hedging — the patchwork construction is a deliberate design choice, not a compromise. Available in EU 38–45 (US 5.5–11), from $99.99 USD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these true to size?
Yes — consistent with standard EU/US men's sizing. Size up if between half-sizes.

What's the construction like?
Split leather upper, patchwork panel detail, PU lining, PU insole, thick ridged rubber outsole. No synthetic mesh — full leather exterior.

How do these differ from standard platform dress shoes?
Most platform dress shoes use a single-panel upper and a uniform sole. The POMMEL_07 uses a two-tone patchwork upper and a visibly ridged outsole — the construction signals intent rather than blending in.

What fits work with these?
Wide-leg trousers, techwear cargos, straight denim. Black/Beige contrasts against dark bottoms; all-Black reads clean with monochrome or layered darkwear.

Can I machine wash them?
No. Damp cloth + mild cleaner on the leather. Protective spray recommended before first wear.
