The India Line
Six cities, six colourways — one canvas-and-rubber build, recoloured and detailed after something specific to each stop. Same fit and sole as the core range.
Dyed the pink of the old city’s sandstone and finished with a hand-block jaali print at the collar — a lattice pattern lifted from Jaipur’s stepwells. Each pair is block-printed by a Sanganer workshop before it’s stitched, so no two runs sit pixel-identical.
This run only — 500 pairs.
Yellow like the Ambassadors still working the ranks outside Howrah, with a dusk-teal heel counter for the routes still running Esplanade to Gariahat. Built on the same commuter last as the rest of the range.
This run only — 600 pairs.
Dip-dyed teal to flame-orange, the way the river looks from the ghats before sunrise — diyas still lit, sky just starting to turn. The gradient is hand-dipped, so every pair fades a little differently.
This run only — 450 pairs.
The colour of filter coffee decanted between davara and tumbler, with steel-toned eyelets and a temple-cream trim at the sole line. Made for the queue outside a Mylapore darshanam and the walk back after.
This run only — 700 pairs.
Coral-pink like Charminar stone at dusk, with a saffron heel the colour of biryani steam and pearl-white eyelets standing in for the city’s old pearl trade. Built for the walk from the four arches to Necklace Road.
This run only — 500 pairs.
Backwater green with a coir-brown lace and trim, coated water-resistant for a city that’s half canal. The colourway is pulled straight from the Chinese fishing nets at Fort Kochi at low tide.
This run only — 550 pairs.
