WILDCARD FOOTWEAR
MEN’S SHOES FOR THE UNDEFINED PATH
Wildcard makes men’s loafers in small, numbered editions. Each pair is cut from hand-graded calfskin, finished by hand, and made to be worn for years. The first, the Mako, is limited to 500 pairs.
THE HOUSE
One Design,
Made Properly
Wildcard began with a single design and a decision to make it well rather than make many. There is no seasonal collection and no restock. Each edition is produced once, in a fixed number of 500 pairs.
HAND-GRADED CALFSKIN
HAND-FINISHED
EDITION OF 500
THE FIRST EDITION
THE MAKO
A loafer with a sharper line than tradition allows. It has hand-finished calfskin, a segmented driving sole, and a profile designed to be recognized across a room.
01 / Edition
Numbered, 1 to 500
02 / Leather
Hand-graded calfskin
03 / Sole

MATERIAL
Calfskin, Chosen to Age
Each hide is graded by hand and chosen for how it will age. With wear, the leather softens, develops a patina, and takes the shape of the foot. The pair becomes unmistakably yours.

BEYOND THE SEASON
The Mako’s proportions, materials and construction were settled with the next decade in mind, not the next season.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
“We do not make shoes for the man the world has finished describing. We make them for the man still deciding.”
“The Wildcard Doctrine.”
