Unmarked's Balam represents one of the most intricate traditions in Mexican footwear, a huarache style that demands an extraordinary level of skill to produce. Each pair is handwoven by artisans using techniques passed down through generations, with every strip of leather carefully braided to create a truly striking pattern.
The woven construction allows the leather to flex and mold naturally to the foot, creating comfort that improves with wear, and the natural veg-tan leather will patina nicely with age. Finished with a leather welt and resoleable Vibram mini ripple outsole, the Balam is built for the long haul. No two pairs are exactly alike, each one carrying the subtle variations that come from being made entirely by hand.
