Suede: Fine natural leather with a brushed finish that features a soft feel and elegant look. It offers good breathability and high wearing comfort, while gradually adapting to the shape of the foot. The material is both durable and flexible, ensuring comfort in everyday use. Suede is the ideal choice for footwear where the emphasis is on style, comfort and timeless design.

Synthetics: The material of the upper includes a wide range of man-made fibres and laminates that are designed to overcome the limits of natural materials. The main advantages are low weight, high strength and fast drying ability. Modern synthetic materials are often developed with an emphasis on breathability and resistance to external influences such as moisture or mechanical damage. Thanks to their technological variability, they allow the production of specific textures and structures that provide the foot with the necessary support and flexibility while maintaining easy maintenance.

Wafer: (Waffle Sole) An absolute game-changer and one of the most significant patents in the history of sneakers. It all began in 1971 when Bill Bowerman (co-founder of Nike) poured rubber into his wife's waffle maker to create a sole that would provide perfect grip while remaining lightweight. The result is a distinctive grid pattern with raised square lugs. Today, the waffle sole is a symbol of retro running in the streetwear scene – it looks fantastic, is incredibly comfortable, and grips the asphalt like glue.
