These sneakers were our very first models, recognizable by their multicolored outsoles. When Eva returned from China—where she had traveled multiple times for work—she wanted to collaborate with a local manufacturer. She went back to the workshop where she had worked part-time during her high school years.
The factory specialized in rubber-textile shoes, and Eva sought an opportunity to innovate within the production process to create a brand-new, unique product that would stand out in today’s market. In the workshop, she noticed an abundance of colorful rubber scraps left over from previous production cycles. She began pressing these pieces back together, giving birth to the first KAVE sneaker models.
The pressing process creates material sheets where colors blend naturally. These sheets are then cut into outsole components, ensuring that every sneaker is a one-of-a-kind piece—no two pairs are ever exactly alike. This guarantees that you’re wearing a completely unique product that no one else in the world has.
To date, this technology has been used to create over 100 different models, including these:
