Material
To create an eco-friendly leather, we involve from rawhide.
Our goal is to create 100% vegetable tanning with a consistent quality.

we are in the production stage of original textured leather.
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 te 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 foot contact,
The outsole uses a crepe sole and an integrated rubber mold, making it a modern, comfortable material and shape that reduces impact when walking.
We are creating a new comfort that improves recovery with an original form.
