/ 02 — The Build

Engineered for the hunt.

Every ROUCN pair is hand-assembled by a team of six craftsmen in Agra. These are the six decisions that make the shoe.

RCN-001 · sole & eyelet detail

01

VULCANISED SOLE

Rubber compound vulcanised at 150°C for a permanent bond between upper and sole. Hexagonal tread pattern engineered for monsoon grip on tile, concrete, and broken curb. Zero slip. Maximum traction.

02

MEMORY FOAM INSOLE

15mm EVA base with a 4mm memory foam top layer. Compresses to your weight in the first week and holds the shape after. All-day comfort without the bulk of a chunky midsole.

03

PU UPPER

1.2mm polyurethane panels with a 3D spacer mesh tongue. Breathes through the worst Indian summers. Flexes at the toe break. Holds its shape through 12-hour days.

04

BRASS EYELETS

Solid brass hardware, not plated. Acid-green 120cm waxed flat laces threaded through six eyelets per side. The detail that lifts the silhouette from generic to signature.

05

FULL-GRAIN LEATHER LINING

Heel collar lined with vegetable-tanned Agra leather. Breaks in fast. Doesn't bleed dye. Ages into a patina that's yours alone.

06

STITCH-DOWN CONSTRUCTION

Upper stitched directly to the midsole rather than glued. Adds weeks of life to the shoe and makes resoling possible at our Agra workshop after the rubber wears.

Lead time

14 days from leather to lace.
