TYGA #1 — Snow Mark Low-Top

The first one.

I made this shoe myself. Seven hours straight — late night into the next morning, without stopping.

And it still came out wrong. The heel tab doesn't sit exactly where I drew it. The mark is smaller than I planned. Look closely and you'll find it.

I'm leaving it that way.

A machine would have gotten it right the first time. I'm not a machine, and this is my first. I wanted it perfect and it isn't — and I'm not sad about that. A first attempt that fails is the stone you stand on to reach the next thing. Everything good I've ever seen was built on top of one of these.

So this pair is $3 less than the rest. Not because it's worth less to me — it's worth more. Because you should know exactly what you're buying: the first, the flawed, the one that had to exist.

I like this failure. It's who I am right now.

White faux-leather low-top. Crimson snow mark on the outside quarter — left shoe left side, right shoe right side. Forest green tab wrapping the heel collar. US 9 / 10 / 11.

Whiter than snow. — Psalm 51:7
