Blood Core SMUGS

About Blood Core SMUGS

A sneaker built like a boot. Now in Blood Core & Alien Blood Core.

The Rose Anvil x Goral SMUGS (Sneakers Made Using Good S***) combine all the best attributes of a boot and a sneaker. Built with Exclusive Rose Anvil x Seidel Blood Core, leathers that mold to your foot like an old baseball mitt, breathe, resist stink and are built to bleed and made to fade.

The more you abuse them, the better they look. Every scratch, scar, bend & scrape tells a story in the leather.

Inside, your foot is wrapped in 360° leather from the unlined upper, to the leather-topped insert, to the veg-tan lasting board.

Their true blake stitch construction means any cobbler can resole them again and again, or just you could just mail them back to Goral and through their Rebuild + service, they’ll pull the old cupsole off and put a new one back on. 

Handmade in England, SMUGS are the most durable sneakers you’ll ever own. The first day you wear them is the worst they’ll ever look.
