Materials
To create eco-friendly leather, we care about making leather from rawhide.
Our goal is to create 100% vegetable tanning leather with a consistent quality.
With the cooperation of various factories
we apply a finishing process to create a unique leather texture.
We are particular about the raw leather and create the leather by talking directly with tanners.
The finishing process gives it a unique leather texture.
Concept
To maximize the comfort,
we created an original form of cushion lining for the insole,
crepe rubber and mold sole, which reduces the shock when you walk
and create a smooth fitting to a modern yet comfortable shoes.
The insole has cushioning properties to improve fit to your feet,
The outsole uses a crepe sole and an integrated rubber mold, making it a modern, comfortable material and shape that reduces the impact when walking.
We are creating a new comfort that improves repulsion with an original form.
