Bruno
My name is Bruno and I am 16 years old. Still a teenager, I am a dreamer and a fighter. I grew up in the Zambujal neighbourhood with my family that has always remained close. Since I can remember, I wanted to grow up quickly and become autonomous so I could work hard for the things I want and have a better life and a bright future. I want to be someone my family is proud of but, above all, keep fighting for my future and the things I love, not letting anything or anyone get in the way.
I designed these sneakers with harmony in mind, as I think people need to make a constant effort to find what they have in common and not focus on their differences as they usually tend to do. I see too many people spending too much time arguing over unnecessary things. The colours I decided to focus on was grey because I think it transmits stability and neutrality and red because, for me, it is the colour of passion, energy and excitement, things I try to maintain as the young man I am.

Free returns are not applicable if you choose to order two pairs or more in your order. In those cases, we reserve the right to only offer you free exchanges or, at least, charge you for the return of the extra sneakers you have ordered and wish to return. As a brand that wants to try to produce only what it sells to have a minimal impact in the environment, we want to disincentivize those who order several pairs to see which one they like the most but always planned to keep only one.

CARE:
Plain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer hog bristles to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider.
Suede: Use a brush to gently remove any dirt or dust. Brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain to avoid damaging it. Dry stains can be removed by using a white or brown gum eraser. If it doesn't work we advise you to visit your local cobbler and get additional advice.
Nubuck: Nubuck cloths are the best option to remove dirt and shiny spots. Wipe in several directions using circular motions and make sure you cover the entire nap area.
Rubber Soles: Clean the dirt with a dampened cloth and carefully soak the sole in a mixture of water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you don’t soak the upper part! Use a toothbrush with the mixture to scrub your soles. Once it’s done, dry the sneakers using a cloth.

3: Use a ruler to measure the length between the longest toe of your foot and the wall.
Based on this measure, you can chose your number.
