We created the Akşam to bring the iconic Sabah shape into something more refined – sitting somewhere between a slipper and a loafer. It’s the same silhouette that’s become synonymous with our Turkish production, refined with an exceptionally soft, lightweight construction and designed to go with everything – a suit, a beat-up pair of jeans, fatigue pants, and more. Handcrafted in rich oiled suede, the Akşam has no rigid heel counter, giving it an easy, slipper-like feel from the first wear. A single layer buffalo leather outsole keeps it light and flexible underfoot, finished with a rubber heel pad for added durability. The Akşam, like all of our shoes, should fit snug and glove-like out of the box, and will mold to your feet and break in with just a few wears. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing down.
Founded in 2013 by Mickey Ashmore out of his New York City apartment, Sabah’s traditional leather shoes have acquired a cult following for their versatility and comfort.
