£225Akşam - Tabac Suede
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.

Care
Wear with Care! Akşams are made with natural water buffalo leather outsoles, chosen for the way they soften, flex and form to your feet with wear. Scratches, scuffs and a gradual smoothing of the leather are all part of breaking them in. After you’ve worn them for a bit and the soles have settled nicely to your feet, you can easily have your local cobbler add a thin set of protective rubber soles for added durability. You get all the benefit of breaking in a proper leather sole, while the rubber layer protects it from many more miles of sidewalks, streets and wherever else you take ’em. Your cobbler will know exactly what to do. And when that rubber eventually wears down, replace it and keep going. Good shoes are meant to be worn. And maintained. And worn some more! If they do get dirty, lightly brush off any debris or dirt on the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
dealer's notes
We created the Akşam to bring the iconic Sabah shape into something more refined – sitting somewhere between a slipper and a loafer. They were designed to be lightweight, super soft, and undeniably glove-like right out of the box.
Size & Fit
The Akşam should initially feel snug and glove-like, with your toes toward the end and a touch of pressure. The leather will stretch, soften, and mold to your feet with consistent wear. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing down.
Akşam In Copenhagen.
Meet Akşam.
The Akşam is intentionally unstructured — soft, flexible and lightweight, with no rigid heel counter. Its slipper-like construction allows the shoe to move naturally with your foot and soften even further with wear.
Underfoot, a single layer of buffalo leather keeps the sole light and flexible, with a rubber heel pad added for durability. The result is something that feels almost like a cross between a Sabah and a Baba — easy and relaxed, but with a more refined silhouette.
