The 1902 origin

The 1902 sneakers are more than just footwear; they are a living tribute to Paris, handmade in Italy, and infused with the heritage and sophistication of a bygone era, reimagined for the modern day.

Design elements

The design elements of the 1902 line echo the bold and innovative spirit of the time. The leather piping is a subtle nod to the Seine river and its intricate route that weaves through the city, symbolising the connection between the different 'rives' of Paris.

The signature eyelet, inspired by the iconic staircases found in Montmartre and Parisian buildings, embodies the elegance of this era. Its elliptical shape not only stands out but also mirrors the gentle rise of each step, a reflection of the elevation in style that the 1902 line brings.

Why 1902 ?

The 1902 line draws its name from a pivotal moment in Parisian history—the creation of the Nord-Sud subway company in 1902. This era marked the beginning of a new chapter for the city's underground network, connecting neighbourhoods and uniting Parisians through a shared journey.
