Our story

JessicaMartini

Founder, Year One

For the past year, I've been hand making jersey-inspired cowboy boots, building this dream from pure love, determination, and a simple goal: to get as many of you as possible wearing my designs without ever sacrificing what made them special.

This one-of-a-kind mentality has led me to partner with an incredible, family-owned workshop in León, Mexico. They're expert bootmakers who are helping bring my vision to life at scale, without losing the craftsmanship that's always been so important to me.

Every pair is still handcrafted and designed with intention, by me.

We've developed custom-made materials and silhouettes that look like jerseys but feel like buttery-soft leather, so these boots are just as special as the very first pair I ever made.

Year One means something different for all of us. My Year One has been building this brand from the ground up. Yours might be starting at a new school, moving to a new city, or cheering for your favorite team in a fresh, new way. There's no better way to kick off a new chapter than in a pair of boots that were handmade just for you.
