What to know about YUME YUME
A geta sandal turned sculpture
The Japanese wooden geta is the starting point for every silhouette, reworked into chunky, cartoonish shapes like the Geta Boot, Truck Boot and Horse Boot.
Footwear only, treated as objects
Eva Korsten and Dave Hendriks design shoes rather than collections, releasing recurring signature styles as design objects instead of seasonal drops.
Moulded soles, vegan materials
Construction leans on mono-material builds, thick moulded soles and vegan or recycled inputs, which is where the high price sits rather than in leather.
