The Viento in Black

Meet The Viento in Black by Adelante, a men’s loafer that takes the brand’s breeziest silhouette and wraps it in sleek black leather. Handcrafted in Pastores, Guatemala and made-to-order, The Viento in Black is the next best thing to being barefoot—only much more polished.

Materials & Construction: This Viento is made with full-grain black leather uppers, a genuine leather sole, and thick high-density memory-foam insoles. Rapid, ultra-lightweight construction keeps the shoe extremely flexible, while the pull tab and slip-on design offer effortless entry. The low, streamlined shape feels more like a slipper on foot, but looks like a refined loafer from the outside.

Why It’s Good: Adelante’s living-wage, made-to-order approach and full-grain leather build ensure The Viento in Black is created to last and to be worn often. The ultralight design encourages you to reach for this pair day after day, making it easier to pass on cheaper, disposable slip-ons. A black upper is as versatile as it gets, supporting everything from minimalist travel wardrobes to blended work/leisure outfits.

Style Notes: Wear The Viento in Black by Adelante with tapered trousers and a knit polo for relaxed office days, or with joggers and a sweatshirt when you’re on the move. It’s a perfect “always packed” shoe for carry-on-only trips.
