ETQ LT 03 Premium Nappa All Black

The ETQ LT 03 Premium Nappa All Black brings retro basketball proportions into an understated everyday sneaker. Shaped leather panels give the upper definition, balanced by a thicker tonal outsole. Smooth black Nappa and a mesh interior complete a design inspired by the court, but made for life away from it.

Pair it with denim or relaxed tailoring for a cohesive finish. Supple leather offers softness from the first wear, while removable memory foam insoles gradually conform to the foot.

• Designed in the Netherlands and handcrafted in Portugal by ETQ’s longstanding family-run factory partner.
• Premium Nappa leather from an LWG Gold-certified tannery in Alcanena, Portugal.
• A stitched seam connects the upper to the sole rather than a glued attachment, allowing the shoe to flex with the foot.
• Hand-lasted and checked twice before leaving the factory.
• Between 20 and 40 individual components are assembled by hand in every pair.
• Removable memory foam footbeds adapt through use and can be replaced with fresh insoles or personal orthotics.
• ETQ’s dedicated sole mould and specified rubber blend balance flexibility for daily walking with shape retention.
• Tonal outsole and mesh interior.
• Internal reinforcement at the toe and heel helps maintain the sneaker’s shape through repeated wear.
• Tonal metal eyelets and nylon laces keep the finish restrained. Replacement laces are available separately.
• ETQ’s distinctive square detail finishes the heel.
• A reusable travel bag is included for packing and carrying.
• The white presentation box serves as the shipping carton, avoiding an additional outer box.

Premium Nappa retains the hide’s full grain while being finished for a smooth, supple surface. ETQ sources its Nappa primarily from Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold-certified tannery. Each hide is assessed for finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Its tight, even grain and soft temper allow gentle flexing without sharp creases. Soft from the outset without a break-in period, the leather continues to shape around the foot with wear.

Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Apply colourless leather cream occasionally to help preserve suppleness. Leave wet shoes to dry naturally, away from direct heat, and store them in the supplied bag.
