If we were told that one day we would have quit our “permanent job” to sculpt sneakers, certainly we would have thought to be crazy.
Instead, here we are, experimenting with anything using any type of material. Our passion took us where we never expected.
Four friends, a great imagination, an immense creative force, everything started as a joke.
Then, at some point, the turning point. The meeting, in 2017, with a sneakerhead who challenged us, that is to create a wooden reproduction of the queen of sneakers, the Jordan 11. The result? It left everyone speechless and soon our Jordan arrived in the hands of the great Italian champions and afterwards up to the New York Times and the NBA. We understood that this was our way.
With the delicacy of the chisel and the power of the chainsaw, in a short time we were able to create hundreds of unique pieces that combine the care and precision of craftsmanship with the efficiency and high performance of mass production.
Works of art that every true sneakerhead and every design lover would like to have in their collection.
Once it was enough to wear a Sneaker to understand what you were all about. Because they are not just shoes, but a lifestyle.
Sneakers have conveyed social and musical phenomena, audacious, dynamic lifestyles and many other aspects, sometimes even harsh ones, of urban culture.
In recent years they have become a wider phenomenon, occupying an important role in fashion, becoming a symbol for those who make culture and style the center of their existence.
With our works we celebrate the union between these two worlds.
The historical origins of Sneakers and the contemporary design make them as an essential element of a specific taste oriented towards street culture that has become a true art.
