Custom Asymmetric Buckle Slides — A2468

Unequal buckle straps, raised sidewall for brand collections

Custom Asymmetric Buckle Slides — model A2468, developed for footwear brands, wholesalers and importers.

The two buckle straps of A2468 have different widths, introducing an asymmetric rhythm above a raised sole sidewall. Men’s brands can use that proportion change to distinguish the model from a standard twin-band slide. Its development value lies in preserving the unequal strap arrangement as a deliberate design choice.

Use unequal strap widths as the organising detail for this substantial-looking men’s slide.

Construction review: unequal buckle straps, raised sidewall

Specify each strap width separately and review the matching hardware for that position. A uniform trim substitution could flatten the intended asymmetry, so compare the complete top view before approving it.

Material specification for A2468

The A2468 variants with listed upper details specify mixed materials and cow split leather. Confirm the selected SKU’s material in the sample brief. The exposed strap areas make surface and edge finish important approval points. Compare the material where it bends, overlaps or meets hardware, then retain the chosen finished panel with the colour reference. Any proposed material change should be checked on the strap layout rather than accepted from a small swatch alone. Outsole specification: rubber and polyurethane (PU). Specify the required surface treatment; a split-leather grade does not itself establish a suede finish.

Colours and variant specifications

A2468 is listed in Black, Brown, Grey. Choose the colour SKUs for your sample request and keep each material specification attached to its own code. Physical swatches and the approved sample establish the final colour reference.

Need EU 45, 46, 47 or another size outside the listed range? Shark Imperator supports custom size development, including new lasts and outsole moulds where required. We can adjust last shape, width, instep volume and toe allowance to your target market’s fit requirements. Send your size chart, foot measurements or reference last for assessment. Extended sizes are custom development options, not existing stock; tooling cost and development timing are quoted separately.

Private-label development for A2468

Keep the unequal strap widths explicit in the design brief rather than treating the two buckles as interchangeable positions. Our team can review colour, selected materials and logo placement around that layout, then coordinate the approved sample with custom labels and packaging.

Shark Imperator works with footwear brands, wholesalers and importers on OEM, ODM and private-label projects. Send your technical drawing or marked-up reference with the changes you want to this model. Logo method and placement, hardware, material substitutions and packaging are reviewed against the selected construction before the sample specification is agreed.

Order planning and production terms

Confirm the agreed specification and schedule with your quotation. Delivery terms, freight, packaging requirements and any buyer-requested inspection or testing should be stated in the enquiry. Production timing does not include international transit.

Discuss your A2468 project

To develop A2468, send the selected colour SKUs, quantities by size, destination market and a marked-up reference showing your proposed changes. Use unequal buckle straps, raised sidewall as the design reference when describing the revision. Include logo artwork and packaging references where available. Our team can review the brief, arrange sample development and prepare an OEM/ODM quotation.
