Luchador Service Boot

The Luchador Service Boot utilizes stitchdown construction, which differs from BLKBRD's signature hand-welted method used on other models. This construction method makes the boot more resistant to water penetration during rugged use. The boot features a full leather lining throughout the interior and incorporates a gusseted tongue for enhanced water resistance.

The sole construction consists of a leather mid-sole combined with various outsole options depending on the specific model variant. Common outsole configurations include Vibram Rubber Eton soles and nitrile rubber soles, both selected for abrasion resistance and durability. The heel features a stacked leather construction with a combination rubber topy for added longevity.

The Luchador Service Boot is available in multiple leather options sourced from established tanneries. Premium variants feature Horween Chromexcel leather from the United States, known for its durability and unique aging characteristics. Other options include Maryam Horserump leather from Italy and various pullup leathers in brown and black colorways.

Additional material configurations include hatchgrain burgundy leather and cognac scotch grain leather variants. All models feature full leather lining and a leather insole with natural cork filler designed for comfort during extended wear.

The standard Luchador Service Boot is constructed on BLKBRD's ROYCE-B last with a round toe profile, while the Luchador-Z variant utilizes the ROVER last featuring a work round toe profile. The boots are available in European sizes 39-47, corresponding to UK sizes 5-13 and US sizes 6-14.

The design philosophy emphasizes functionality while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The company markets the boot with the tagline "best to be worn rough," indicating its intended use for demanding environments while preserving the sophisticated silhouette that characterizes BLKBRD's design approach.

The Luchador Service Boot is priced at ₹24,800 Indian Rupees (approximately $300 USD) and is available directly from BLKBRD SHOEMAKER through their official website. The company operates on a direct-to-consumer model, handcrafting each pair in small batches at their Agra-based workshop.

Each boot requires over 40 hours of manufacturing time, passing through more than 100 different operations and the hands of 12 craftsmen before completion. This extensive process reflects BLKBRD's commitment to traditional Indian shoemaking methods while incorporating modern materials and design elements.
