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.

Textile: Textile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.

Rubber: a material that is very easy to maintain and you will appreciate it especially in rainy weather.

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.
