Each season, our design team builds upon the Lucine’s past successes, pushing our skilled craftsman and production teams even farther, as they explore more possibilities for the myriad of materials, colors and combinations that make these many-layered lace-ups so very distinctive. But there are, of course, things that we would never think of changing. Uppers continue to be woven from 20 distinct pieces—relying on a host of ingredients, including 3D breathable fabric, high-tech PU and kid suede. Below, it’s even more complex, with our Lucien’s bottom half relying on successive layers of many different materials, a singular production processes and, obviously, an abundance of different molds. Viewed from the bottom, the outsole’s front and back sections are rubber, allowing for an ultimate non-slip guarantee. In the center, a see-through TPU, with the Stella Luna logo added to the EVA piece underneath, adds an unexpected touch. Additional labeling is found in two oval cutouts highlighting digital prints of the graphic Stella Luna monogram. So, yes, our star sneaker’s construction is, needless to say, impressive—but the whole is much greater than just the sum of its many parts. Pulling together experience, expertise and novel techniques, it’s the end result that makes this a best seller: a supremely comfortable, easy-to-wear, everyday sneaker that meets the styling demands of the most demanding Stella Lunatics.
