The Jalen bridges worlds—formal and artistic, rugged and refined. The crocodile texture gives it a bold, confident edge, while the hand-burnished patina and round toe keep it timeless.

Handmade. Hand-finished. Unmistakably yours.
That’s The Jalen—crafted by Leathry.
Discover The Leather
Materials
Not all leather tells a story—but The Jalen speaks volumes. Hand-selected calfskin is embossed with an elegant crocodile texture and then individually hand-painted in layers of warm brown patina, creating depth, richness, and one-of-a-kind character. Each pair is a unique creation, thanks to the hand-finished polish and nuanced tone shifts that make no two alike. Lined with breathable camel-toned calf leather, the interior mirrors the refinement of the exterior—soft to the skin, firm in structure, and unmistakably Leathry.

Feel the Craftsmanship
This is a derby redefined. The Jalen takes the classic five-eyelet lace-up silhouette and elevates it with bold crocodile embossing and a deep, hand-applied patina finish. The rounded toe offers a clean and approachable shape, keeping the overall profile grounded while the rich textures and hues give it undeniable presence. Whether worn with tailored suiting or upscale casualwear, it’s designed for those who dress with intention—and appreciate a touch of artistic flair.
discover the Sole
Good Year Welted
A shoe this sharp deserves a foundation to match. Built using traditional Goodyear welt construction, The Jalen features a durable double leather sole and a leather-and-wood stacked heel. This technique allows for resoling, ensuring longevity, structure, and strength. It’s not just good-looking—it’s made to last. Every inch is handcrafted by skilled artisans who’ve perfected their technique over generations, ensuring the final product doesn’t just wear well—it ages beautifully.
