PAR

About

PÁR sneakers & stuff balances between the city and nature, technology and tradition. It arose from the urge to create – not only products, but above all experiences. It connects everything what we like and what we are surrounded by. From music and art, through design, architecture, to trips both overseas and outside Prague. PÁR is a responsible local brand that we ourselves would love to discover and follow, because you never know what will come next. PÁR shoes combine soft and flexible unlined leather upper, referring to the classic moccasin construction, with dynamically shaped and extra light sneakers outsole, which provide natural ergonomic comfort yet from day 1. All structural elements are intentionally revealed and help to shape the timeless functional aesthetics. There is nothing unnecessary on the shoes, no additional padding or stiffening is needed. This minimalism, which is not just a matter of style, but of the whole concept and approach to production and consumption, resonates with the entire PÁR label. The story of PÁR sneakers is only written on their sole where they proudly bear illustrations of Prague and Czech dominant places. PÁR (pair in Czech) is based on connecting, friendly cooperation and sharing of know-how. It was founded in 2020 by Jan and Darina, a couple which stands behind a number of design and fashion projects such as OKOLO creative group, streetwear brand Rap, and last but not least the BOTAS 66 project, a lifestyle label based on the history of the traditional Czech footwear brand Botas dating back to the 1960s.
