gradus' first boot, developed over a year, carries the DNA of the blucher 08. To achieve the ideal shape extending from the instep to the ankle, the design underwent four factory changes and multiple sample revisions. A minimal upper cut design allows the leather to develop natural creases, adapting to the wearer’s foot over time. The entire boot undergoes a stonewashing process to enhance durability and create a vintage aesthetic.

The upper is crafted from Italian suede, chrome-tanned at Conceria Opera, featuring a short, dense nap. The leather outsole is reinforced with a Vibram rubber sole for improved functionality.
