SCRY’s collaboration with GUIDI is built on a shared avant-garde sensibility: a mutual sensitivity toward material, body, structure, and the form of footwear.

In these works, SCRY inserts an irregular openwork metal structure into the heel and suspends it across the rear of the boot, pinning the boot body in place like an orthotic device. This intervention reshapes the shoe’s weight, posture, and aggression. The bag follows the same logic, becoming an extension of this structural language.

This intervention gives the product a contradictory state: it appears repaired, yet further reinforced. The original GUIDI leather boot is placed under renewed pressure; the rear is locked by an external structure, shifting the shoe’s balance and silhouette. The metal components carry a sense of support, restraint, and exoskeletal construction, forming a relationship with the leather that feels almost nailed into place.

The rear heel structure of the footwear went through a long process of testing and adjustment. While preserving GUIDI’s artisanal texture and classic proportions, SCRY pushes the form toward something more exaggerated and more austere. The bag continues the same treatment. Supple horse leather, irregular metal hardware, and openwork structures come together to create a state close to wearable apparatus.
