Manhattan 59 AI26 Black Animal
The Serafini Manhattan Black Animal wedged sneaker brings refined Italian sneaker styling together with discreet height and considered underfoot comfort. Crafted with a black suede upper, the design is punctuated by a leopard-print nylon tongue, creating a sophisticated animal-print accent without overpowering the versatile black palette. A beige leather lining adds a premium finish inside.
The signature 6 cm internal wedge gives the Manhattan its distinctive raised silhouette, while a removable, leather-covered footbed is designed to cushion the walk. Traditional black laces allow the fit to be adjusted across the foot, and Serafini recommends choosing the larger size when between sizes.

FAQ’s
What makes the Serafini Manhattan Black Animal different from a standard sneaker?
The Manhattan Black Animal incorporates a concealed 6 cm internal wedge, giving it a raised silhouette while maintaining the appearance and fastening of a sneaker. Black suede, a leopard-print nylon tongue and leather lining further distinguish the model from a conventional trainer.
Is the animal print prominent on the Manhattan Black Animal?
The leopard print is used on the tongue rather than across the entire upper. The main upper is black suede, allowing the animal-print detail to act as an accent within an otherwise versatile dark colour palette.
How should the Serafini Manhattan Black Animal be styled?
The black suede and leopard detailing work particularly well with denim, black trousers, relaxed tailoring and casual dresses. The internal wedge gives the Manhattan a more fashion-focused profile than a traditional flat sneaker, making it useful for smart-casual outfits as well as relaxed everyday dressing.
