Sagara Cordmaster

Sagara Chordmaster 5” Leather – Black Rust Arborwax Sole – Dr Sole Urban Explorer Norwegian Storm Welt I won these as a part of Thunderdome ’24, Sagara was kind enough to include these extra as part of my prize to wear in Thunderdome ’25. I was going for kind of a blacked out design and this is exactly that, black Norwegian Storm Welt, black thread and black welt. My first thoughts, wow this leather reminds me of shell cordovan, its got a really nice shine. I’m surprised at just how thick the leather is, with the full lining these are much thicker than I expected and pretty stiff initially. The proprietary Black Arborwax will fade to brown and it’s going to be interesting to see just how long that process will take. For the Sole, I went with the Urban Explorer, which is included in my action shot. What an awesome sole design, its low profile while still providing a lot of grip and has tremendous patina potential. Almost the best of both worlds between having a rubber and all leather sole.
