All shoes made by 28 Sport have a natural grain leather uppers, leather interiors, reinforced stitching, and nailed outer and inner soles. They feature below and above ankle varions in a multitude of classic colors.

One thing is certain at 28 Sport. No two men will ever wear the exact same shoe. For each style/color combination, the guys at 28 Sport produce exactly one shoe in each size. That means that no one will ever be wearing your same shoe in your same size. These one of a kind beauties all all yours.

The intricate designs are based off athletic shoes from the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s. With the inspiration of vintage football, boxing, golf, bowling, and climbing, their shoes herald back to a time when quality was a given and personal attention a must.
