This week we were back in Portugal, visiting the factory and checking on the progress of production.

After months of testing new soles and lasts, walking thousands of steps in prototypes every single day, checking flexibility, abrasion resistance, and durability, and obsessing over endless tiny details… we finally gave the green light for production to move forward.

And honestly, it feels really good to finally reach this point.

We'd love to show you everything right now.

But we also want to save some of the magic for launch day.

For now, here are just a few small details and glimpses from production. We’ll keep sharing little sneak peeks here and on Instagram Stories for those of you who are following the journey closely.

We know many of you have been waiting a long time, constantly asking us about restocks and release dates.

Thank you once again for your patience. Unfortunately, the releases won't be ready until late June or early July.

But after spending months thoroughly testing everything, we truly believe it was necessary. We never wanted to rush something so important just to launch sooner. Quality always requires patience.

From cutting to stitching, stamping, and embroidery, every step is done by real hands—real artisans.

We’ve chosen patience over haste, so everything arrives as it should.
We hope it will all feel worth it the moment you put them on.

For those asking about pre-orders:
Yes, we’ll be offering pre-orders before the launch, with a special price—as always—for those who want to secure their pair early.

We'll announce the dates on Instagram, in our newsletters, and here on the blog.

As for the Heritage line:

We're planning to restock the black Duke with a few design refinements, along with a new colorway.

Zen Brown will also return, along with two new colors.

And for Deck: Three new colorways are coming to the "
," plus restocks of Black and Camel.

These Heritage releases are expected around the end of August.

Thanks again for all your patience, support, and messages over the past few months.

Seeing how many of you are looking forward to this new chapter really means a lot to us.

We can't wait to finally show you what we've been working on.

Launch Update
June 26, 2026

First and foremost, thank you.

It’s been a longer journey than we first imagined, and your patience over the past few months truly means a lot to us. If you’ve been following this project from the beginning, we felt you deserved to know where things stand today.

The collection is now in the final stage of production, and we are currently planning to launch it around mid- to late July.

The last few weeks are always the hardest to predict. It’s no longer about designing, but about making sure every pair leaves the factory exactly as it should. Tiny adjustments, final checks, finishing touches… the details that often go unnoticed, but make all the difference.

We could push for an earlier launch.

But we’d rather launch something we’re genuinely proud of than ask the people making each pair to rush the final steps. We’ve always believed that good craftsmanship deserves the time it takes.

As we mentioned earlier, pre-orders will open before the launch, with special pricing for those who’d like to secure their pair early. We’ll announce all the details in the coming weeks.

As always, we'll continue to share updates over the coming weeks as the event approaches.

Thank you for sticking with us.

We're almost there.
