REWRITING THE RULES OF LUXURY FOOTWEAR BEGAN WITH ONE QUESTION



What if a sneaker could adapt instead of expire?
That was the spark. Catherine Meuter and Stefan Mathys asked the question over a beer on a balmy summer night in 2019.
With over 2 decades in luxury footwear, Catherine and Stefan found themselves fed up with the industry's endless waste, disposability, and trend cycles built to collapse.
"We weren’t chasing disruption for disruption's sake. We were chasing longevity in luxury, a smarter design that would outlive landfills, and that made disruption inevitable."
Why? Because 90% of sneakers end up in landfills not long after they’re bought. Because the industry rarely thinks beyond next season. Because most shoes are built to be replaced.
We built a smarter sneaker that refuses to follow, we built VNY to break the cycle.
We call it LONG-LUXE.
Meet the first sneaker that lets you change your look and extend your wear, all through our innovative modular heel system.
This is rebellious luxury.
Whether you’re matching a mood or replacing wear, every heel swap is a small act of reinvention and a smarter way to wear.
