Looking forward to the future of footwear embracing new technology whilst harnessing the artfulness of shoemaking. Entwining traditional materials such as leather and wood with metal and man-made textiles. Drawing inspiration from motorcycles and their journey from classic to modern day racing bikes. Looking at their construction - sleek, dynamic contours that show their mechanical intricacy yet enhance their exterior body. Creating shoes that show poise and presence.
