Art Leeds Nappa Shinny Boots S100

Leeds: industrial, vibrant, modern. This boot is born from that urban energy—decisive in character, functional at heart, and built to power every step with strength and style without feeling heavy. Because some cities never stop… and neither do you.

This boot is made for long winter days in the city, when you need something comfortable enough to keep on from morning to night. The short shaft features four pairs of oversized metal eyelets and a six-centimetre lugged platform. Burgundy brings a deep wine-red tone that feels rich, polished, and easy to wear with darker wardrobes. Under softer indoor lighting it can appear almost oxblood, while natural light brings out the warmer red undertones. The Shinny finishgives the leather a sleek gloss, closer to soft patent than matte leather, catching the light across the instep as the foot moves. Black laces and the bold black sole create a strong contrast that keeps the color grounded and modern.

Who is LEEDS 1799 in Burgundy for?
For anyone who lives in black, charcoal, denim, and neutrals but wants one strong color that still feels sophisticated and wearable. Burgundy pairs beautifully with black puffers, grey knits, denim, leggings, oversized coats, and everyday streetwear. It is bold without being difficult—the kind of color that makes an outfit feel finished without taking it over. Available in sizes 36 to 42.

Move Me
Look closely at the front of the sole: the grooves open where the foot naturally bends during push-off. With six centimetres of platform underneath, that flexibility matters because it allows the boot to move with your stride instead of restricting it. The Softlight construction flexes at the forefoot so the toes can complete the natural walking motion, helping reduce the heavy, stiff feeling that can build up after hours of walking, stairs, and city pavement.

Materials and construction
The Softlight sole provides substantial height and traction without adding unnecessary weight, while the deep lugged tread helps grip wet city surfaces. The 360º Stitched construction features a visible seam around the perimeter of the boot, securely joining the upper and sole. The upper is crafted from Nappa Shinny, a full-grain leather with a glossy burgundy finish that is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. Inside, the boot features a 100% microfibre lining and removable insole, with chrome-free tanning on the materials that come into contact with the foot. A discreet inner zip allows you to tie the oversized black laces once and leave them styled exactly how you like them. Heel height: 6 cm. Slope: 1.5 cm.

Size guide
Designed on a comfort-focused last, the LEEDS 1799 offers extra room across the forefoot with a short shaft that supports the ankle without feeling restrictive. Because Nappa Shinny leather does not stretch significantly with wear, the fit is adjusted mainly through the laces and four pairs of oversized eyelets. For the best reference, choose the size you normally wear in a trainer with a thicker winter sock rather than your summer shoe size.
