Novesta | UK 11

Founded in 1939 in Partizánske, located in the centre of Slovakia, Novesta is a sustainability-minded footwear brand known for their high-quality European-made designs inspired by timelessness, militaria reference and streamlined refinement. Proud of their history, the brand remains based in the same region where it uses a combination of certified materials, traditional machinery and skilled craftspeople to create each model. Natural rubber, cotton and linen are favoured materials of choice, which continues to demonstrate the brands dedication to meeting exemplary environmental standards and a focus on producing ecological and vegan footwear.

Admired everyday staples such as the handmade and anatomically-shaped Star Master, Marathon Trail and Marathon Trail Vegan silhouettes are representative of Novesta’s contemporary mindset with respect to clean-lined classic aesthetics, whilst uses of over-accentuated rubber, ‘tire mark’ coined trims and block-tone overlays combine the brand’s notedly utilitarian undertone with their admired Euro-centric narrative. Known for their continued collaboration with Comme Des Garcons and their nostalgic local work-footwear appeal, Novesta’s post-Socialist ‘60s and ‘70s era aesthetic maintains a distinct ode to originality and appreciative understanding of reclaimed utilitarian individuality.
