Culture of Brave

Let us introduce you to Culture of Brave. The South African brand centers around bravery and individuality, combining high-quality materials with ancient and modern techniques, to create valuable products that represent courage and the journey towards one's true self. We visited them with Paris Fashion Week menswear Fall Winter 23 to view their latest work.

Classical sneakers transformed with artisanal techniques

Culture of Brave offers a unique take on classic sneakers by incorporating craftsmanship and art into the designs. Craftsmen in Italy expertly create each pair of sneakers out of a white Australian kangaroo upper and a New Zealand sheepskin lining, which then is dyed in any style or color combination desired. To ensure that the shoes maintain their vibrancy, an alcohol-based pigment is used during the dyeing process to deeply penetrate the leather. The result is a pair of shoes that will not fade, even when exposed to rain. As the shoes are worn, the leather will age beautifully, developing a unique patina and showcasing different hues over time. 

Released series

The Grit series, which consists of four styles, was showcased in Paris in June 2022. The Stout series is composed of two styles, one low-top and one high-top, and features a thicker capsule with a coconut midsole for increased comfort and a nod to environmental consciousness.

Culture of Brave values durability and quality, as the shoes are designed to look better with age and can be worn for years. The namesake label is a rare example of an environmentally conscious brand that values longevity and high quality.

Celebrate your bravery and embrace your individuality with Culture of Brave. Each pair of shoes is a testament to the journey towards being the person you want to be, made with the finest materials and expert craftsmanship.
