The Edit

Studio Edit 01

Shop bysilhouette.

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.
