What to know about Reike Nen
Classic shapes, one deliberate distortion
Loafers, ankle boots and block-heel pumps are rebuilt with rounded toes, oversized gold hardware and twisted straps rather than redrawn from scratch.
Heels sized for walking
Low and block heels dominate the range over stilettos, so the sculptural silhouettes stay wearable across a full day.
Independent Seoul house, designer-run
Founded in 2010 by Yoon Hongmi, who works as Rei, and still independently owned, selling direct plus through SSENSE and Farfetch at mid-to-high prices.

Brand facts
Reike Nen is a Seoul footwear and accessories label founded in 2010 by designer Yoon Hongmi, who works under the name Rei. The brand reworks classic shapes — loafers, block-heel pumps, ankle boots, sculptural sandals — with rounded toes, oversized gold hardware, twisted straps, velvet and unprocessed leathers, a style the label calls "contemporary refinement." Comfort-oriented low and block heels dominate over stilettos, and a small line of minimalist bags supports the shoes. It remains independently owned and sells through its own site plus stockists including SSENSE and Farfetch.
