Five forms, each drawn from first principles and finished in tonal materials. Hover to see them in colour.
The finishing touch
Laced withintent.
Every pair is fitted, laced and checked by hand before it leaves the atelier, so it arrives ready for its first step.
The Atelier
Slow bydesign.
Every GENZSTYLE pair passes through more than a hundred pairs of attentive hands’ worth of decisions — each one made to keep a shoe looking better in year ten than in week one.

01
Selection
Only the centre of the hide is chosen — tight-grained, scar-free, naturally supple.

02
Lasting
Each upper is hand-lasted over a wooden form and rested for 72 hours to hold its shape.

03
Finishing
Edges are burnished, soles bevelled and every pair is polished until it glows.
