Before launching his own footwear range, Armando Cabral was already well-known as one of the world’s top fashion models with campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Dries Van Noten and Dior Homme, among many others under his belt.

As CEO of the new company, he works alongside design director and managing partner Rucky Zambrano, who has spent over 20 years in the fashion industry, working on shoe design for top brands such as Prada Sport and Hugo Boss.

The company launched with two ranges – its ‘classic’ line, which uses traditional construction techniques and the finest Italian leather to produce modern, innovative formal designs. This is complemented by the ‘hybrid-casual’ products which are designed to bridge the gap between the elegance of the classic range and the versatility of a quality training shoe.
