Change starts with a question: «How can we design a sneaker that not only embodies our passion for footwear and for the excellence of Italian shoemaking, but also addresses todays glaring overproduction issues we've personally witnessed in the footwear world?»

DEN STATUS QUO HERAUSFORDERN
The reality of the footwear industry, with its fleeting trends that often eschew substance for extravagance, and its greenhouse gas emissions that rival those of air travel, while 90% of shoes end up in landfill and take centuries to decompose, weighed heavily on our minds. That’s when we paused.
We realized that it is not about rebelling only for the sake of it — it’s about curiosity. Why these norms? Why not introduce a fresh way to perceive, wear and appreciating footwear? For us, redefining the sneaker became more than a design challenge. It is a call to embrace fashion consciously.

THE FUTURE OF FOOTWEAR
Gemeinsam gestalten wir eine neues Narrativ der Schuhwelt - eine, die Verspieltheit mit verantwortungsvollen Entscheidungen verbindet. Wir engagieren uns für einen achtsamen Konsum. Jedes Paar, das wir herstellen, stellt die Norm der Wegwerfbarkeit in Frage und ist nicht nur für die Gegenwart, sondern auch für die Zukunft konzipiert. Indem wir dich in die Lage versetzen, Getragenes zu erneuern, bewahren wir nicht nur Schuhe, sondern fördern eine Beziehung, in der Stil und Umweltbewusstsein nahtlos ineinander übergehen und uns in eine Zukunft führen, in der wir kollektiv Sorge tragen.
