Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.

Wafer: A revolutionary type of sole characterised by its square grid pattern that resembles the texture of a waffle. This design was originally conceived to create a lightweight sole that would provide excellent traction on different types of surfaces without the need for heavy metal spikes. The protruding rubber lugs act as independent cushioning elements that absorb shock on impact and provide maximum grip on rebound. The waffle outsole is prized for its flexibility and light weight, making it an ideal choice for running shoes and stylish leisure footwear where stability and a sure stride are emphasized.
