Cotton takes multiple forms in the Jazz Court RFG, namely in the canvas used for the upper and
in the thread used for the true sidewall stitch that holds it all together.
Jute
Jute is a natural plant fiber that can be spun into strong threads, so beyond its earthy
appearance, its durability plays an important role in the Jazz Court RFG.
Wool
The shoe's sockliner is crafted from sheep’s wool.
Gardenia
The collar lining’s rich navy hue comes from a natural dye made from the gardenia flower.
Rubber
The Jazz Court RFG's classic midsole is made from 100% Lactae Hevea. Daily use and exposure to
the elements causes its appearance to gradually evolve, making each pair more unique
over time.
Beet
The ink used to stamp the sizing information on the insole labels? Two words:
beet juice.
Wood
Eucalyptus-tree fibers were spun to create the textile for the shoe’s laces.
