Dark Tower Iridiscent is a very confortable black botie with Poplar wood platform (painted in Black), that adjust the foot with lateral elastics. It’s made in black bioleather and textured black with iridiscent reflections. It’s inspired by the film “DARK TOWER”, a film where the main charater is the Man in Black and all the city is transversed in dark buildings and dark thoughts.

With a contrast between the bright and iridiscent reflection, the dull black sides and toecap and the black wood from the platform, they give an excelente walk due to the natural bioleather lining, the natural rubber sole and the elastic for adjusting to the foot. In this ankle boots, we used black and iridiscent bioleather – a green material that have no heavy metal on it’s composition and could be burried and dissolves in to 2 to 3 weeks, serving as a natural compost.
