The collection was created in cooperation with the Polish footwear company Conhpol Henryk Konopka. Five models were designed, based on the most characteristic shapes of men’s shoes: Chelsea boots, loafers, Derby shoes, and Oxford shoes. The designs are uniform in style and minimalist in form. The colours are reduced to black with little white additions. It is a certain homage to the classic and, at the same time, an example of how a form of an urban shoe can be reinterpreted. The shoes were made of natural leather, while the wedge soles were made of EVA – lightweight, flexible, and durable material. The shoe collection is unique not only due to the fact that the materials used are of great quality but also because it is a result of an effective cooperation with a craft factory using existing techniques of shoes production. Thanks to this, a professional collection of classic shoes was created emphasising the opportunities that lie in cooperating with manufacturers.
