This classic, smooth, and semi-rigid nubuck has a thickness of 1.4/1.6 mm. It is primarily used for ankle boots, boots, and outdoor shoes (in the hydrophobic version), as well as belts and leather accessories. In heavier thicknesses, it is also suitable for work and safety shoes.

What makes Rodeo unique is its distinctive velvet-like “fingertips writing effect,” which is particularly prominent since the leather is not milled. Moving the ultra-fine fibers with the fingertips creates a pleasing, natural sensation and a refined chiaroscuro effect.

Rodeo is a new ROC Conciaria article, developed to meet the needs of customers looking for a smooth-looking nubuck with a softer, more rounded feel. After numerous trials, the perfect balance between workability and grain-free appearance was achieved, resulting in a material with an elegant, velvety surface that enhances the natural beauty of the leather.
