When Sabotage meet Lazy

Made with Selvage Denim

Selvage denim (also called selvedge denim) is a type of denim which forms a clean natural edge that does not unravel. Coming from the phrase "self-edge", the natural edge of a roll of fabric. Usually, exists on denim made from old-style shuttle looms. These looms weave fabric with one continuous cross thread (the weft) that is passed back and forth all the way down the length of the bolt. As the weft loops back into the edge of the denim it creates this "self-edge" or Selvage.

As the name suggests, only the edges of a full roll of denim where used to produce these one of a kind sneakers. Leaving the mid section unused. Selvage is desirable because the edge can't fray like lower grade denims that have separate wefts which leave an open edge that must be stitched. In this case, the selvage sits perfectly on the top of the midsoles like its supposed to be aesthetically. Exposing an unusual selvage that resembles the pure luxury.

Also breaking the boundaries of a factory made shoe, the selvaged lined midsole of the "paramount" could only be made through a D.I.Y process.
