The second batch of the collaboration with Reproduction of Found, a contemporary update of military training shoes from around the world. It incorporates elements of the sweet and bitter theme of beautiful people’s Fall/Winter 24 collection. Design in beautiful people’s D.N.A. – The use of two conflicting materials, changing the face from the nylon of the first collection, the shoes harmonise two very different fabric expressions, boa and suede. Soft and hard. 

Pre-orders from Saturday, 31 Aug, 2024 online
Official launch from Saturday, 21 Aug 2024 online and in our domestic stores

The boa has a sweet element of animal-like loveliness by using tightly curled fur, while the fine-textured, high-quality Italian suede leather has an authentic, sombre element. The combination of fabrics with different expressions in the same colour enhances the sense of unity and luxury.

The appeal of the Reproduction of Found, with its attention to and respect for the background, plus the contrasting fabric expression of boa and suede, which is typical of Beautiful People, gives the trainer a classic, yet somewhat pop-like atmosphere that is unique to the collaboration.

They are also fully functional for modern lifestyles. The lining is made from Dutch pig leather, which provides durability, while the thick sole offers cushioning and good quality comfort. In addition, by attaching the elastics to the inside, the two-way specification allows the shoe to be worn as a slip-on by removing the laces. The functionality that has been added to the historic manufacturing process and that is in tune with the times is also one of its charms.

The first batch of the collaboration is made of smooth nylon and Italian suede leather, two different materials that harmonize with each other. Color palette using the tone from the Pre-Fall 2024 Collection. 

The special feature of this collaborative model is the use of two different materials, nylon and leather, in combination. The word “bitter” is associated with austerity and spiciness, while “sweet” is associated with luster and quality.

Nylon was widely used for training shoes because of its excellent durability and mass production at low cost, including the German military trainers used by the German Army in the 1980s, while leather was considered expensive and difficult to mass produce. The Pre-Fall 2024 Collection “bitter than sweet” is expressed by combining materials with two opposing historical backgrounds.

Reproduction of Found values craftsmanship. This collaborative model is handmade one by one in the same Slovakian factory as the training shoes used by the German Army.

The upper is made of high-quality Italian suede leather, soft and supple Italian Nappa leather, and fine Italian nylon fabric. Pig leather is used for the lining and insole for a contemporary look and feel.

The inside of the shoe has elastics that allow it to be worn as a slip-on with the laces removed, making it a two-way specification. The timeless functionality added to the historic manufacturing process is one of its charms.
