Sopori is a footwear collection inspired by fencing & kendo. The design draw from the quiet intensity of these two disciplines, rooted in precision and restraint. Sopori explores what remains after the noise fades: the value of doing less, but meaning more.

Nu Blue is a laceless sneaker featuring a split tongue as if a sword had pass by. This system is secured by three glossy black straps.
Steel has an asymmetrical lacing system and a dual-layer upper combining metallic leather with metal mesh reminiscent of fencing masks.

Both feature a 3D Printed flexible TPU low-profile sole.
