Nigerian Leather Goods Label Shem Paronelli Holiday 2012 Shoes
Monday, January 23, 2012
The collection effortlessly resonates “luxury chic“; an essence not easily articulated in men’s footwear design. The “nightlife” theme comes through as the use of such rich and luxurious materials as patent,suede and nubuck was employed in pitch black,tan brown and coffee brown respectively. Such unique features of the collection includes sharp and decisive cuts, the intelligent fusion of the different materials such as suede and patent, black and brown patent, and the sparse use of gold detailing. Such details as hand-stitching, punching and the unique lace-hole style gave the collection that fine artisanal touch synonymous with the Shem Paronelli brand.

The featured soundtrack is also a nod to West Coast visionaries, with Social Distortion, Breakdown, Tommy Guerrero and Steve Alba and the Powerflex 5 contributing to the project.
"FIN investigates artisan garage culture. It will offer insights into an assortment of individuals who incorporate traditional do-it-yourself garage methodology into differing pursuits such as traditional modified vehicles, surfboards, skateboards, art, music and communications," states Stecyk.
The subsequent printables collection will feature a series of 4 t-shirts showcasing exclusive artwork and still photography captured during the making of FIN. The printables collection will be available for purchase on Hurley.com in conjunction with the film's Costa Mesa debut on February 8th.
