Global Heritage Fusion™

Roots United™

African roots, European craft, American innovation — footwear and leather for one world.

The editorial

Roots United™ is the most literal expression of the house idea: three traditions on one upper.

A kente strip woven in Kumasi runs the quarter panel. The heel counter is Portuguese leather. The upper is American indigo denim, washed to age with the wearer.

One identity, assembled from several homelands — and comfortable enough to wear every day of the week.

Sneakers and leather goods in indigo and sand, where a kente strip runs the quarter panel, Portuguese leather forms the heel counter and an American denim upper carries the whole silhouette.
