Veuve Noire means black widow. It is the SDT in full black, with nothing to break the colour. This page is about one question: how do you wear a sneaker that is entirely black?
All black, two materials
The upper mixes Italian leather and suede, both black. Leather on one part, suede on the other: the colour stays the same, but the light changes from one to the other. That is what keeps an all-black pair from looking flat.
The signature on the side is suede, the logo is engraved on the tongue and heel, and the rubber outsole is black too. It ships in the Veuve Noire box and is handcrafted in Portugal.
The pair
- Sneakers SDT Veuve Noire · Full black Italian leather and suede, suede signature on the side, black rubber outsole.
Three ways to wear it
Black on black: black jeans or cargo pants, a black hoodie. The whole outfit is black; the texture of the shoe is the detail.
With light denim: the simplest everyday look.
With grey: grey sweatpants or a grey coat. Black and grey go well together, and the shoe looks sharper.
Black Tar or Veuve Noire?
Both are SDT, same shape, same fit. The Black Tar is cream and black suede, two-tone and more visible. The Veuve Noire is all black, leather and suede, for those who want the shoe to disappear into the outfit.
Keeping it black
Wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth. Brush the suede when it is dry and protect it with a suede spray. Black suede shows dust more than it shows stains, so a quick brush is often enough.
