One Quarter Mens Braided Leather Hazelnut

The brief for this project was to develop a shoe with ¼ the Volume of typical shoes whilst maintaining the durability and performance. 

The new One Qtr Mens Braided leather delivers this perfectly. We love our FiveFingers but even us most ardent fans concede that they aren't suitable for every occasion. The One Quarter offer an excellent compromise for such events whilst also doubling up as an excellent travel and city shoe.

• PORTABLE: The unique three-dimensional sole takes inspiration from the Japanese art of origami design. It is light weight, foldable,compact and provides a stable geometric structure.

• NATURAL COMFORT: The One Quarter Mens Braided Leather combines a sleek, modern look with an extremely comfortable and  minimalist feel. The insole comprises of a sustainable bamboo material to further enhance the comfort in terms of temperature regulation.

• MINIMALISM & LIGHTNESS: The Sole is powered by Vibram LITEBASE Technology with Gumlite, Vibram blown compound. lntroducing Vibram LITEBASE Tech - drastically reducing thickness and weight for rubber outsoles, and fully maintaining the grip and traction expected from Vibram. This new technology significantly reduces base thickness by up to 50% from an identical sole design and allows the overall weight to be reduced up to 30%.
