{"product_id":"barker-ethan-sneakers-ebony","title":"Barker Ethan Sneakers Ebony","description":"\u003cp\u003eEbony in Barker's vocabulary is not black. It is a dark, warm brown, burnished deeper at the toe and around the heel so the leather carries visible depth instead of one flat shade. On a sneaker that matters more than it sounds. The shading is what stops the Ethan reading as a plain brown trainer, and it is why the shoe holds its own next to a pair of proper dress shoes at the same table. Calf takes polish, so the tonal variation can be built on over the years with a matching cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony is the Ethan for darker clothing: charcoal, black denim, olive, brown. It is also the one most likely to pass in an office with a relaxed dress code, where a white sneaker would not. If your other shoes are brown, this is the pair that will sit alongside them without argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ethan is Barker's leather version of the Axel, built on the same 484 last in an F fitting and designed in Northampton. Punched brogue detail marks the heel counter and the toe seam; otherwise the upper is left plain. There is a full leather insole and lining inside and a full rubber sole underneath. UK sizes 6 to 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighter-footed alternative is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/barker-ethan-sneakers-navy\"\u003eEthan in navy\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe the leather down after wearing and use a matching brown cream every few weeks to feed it and keep the burnishing even. Avoid black polish, which will flatten the shading that gives ebony its character.
