Quince Brown

What started as a passion project of our Creative Director is now finally ready for release after years of development. With it's hybrid look, transfering outdoor aesthetics and performance to a classic silhouette, the Quince embodies our Vision of retrofuturism like no other shoe. 

Thanks to a mix of functional and traditional elements, the Quince can be worn both formally and casually. The sporty silhouette and raised sole have already proven themselves on other ekn shoes, but in combination with details like the pouncing on the toebox, a hidden zipper on the inner shoe, and the contrasting pull tab on the heel, it creates a unique design that sets new accents. 

For those who don't want to choose between sneakers and classic shoes - with the Quince, you get the best of both worlds, plus a guaranteed eye-catcher with endless styling possibilities. 

• Upper made from vegetable-tanned raw-edge leather 
• Inner shoe made from recycled neoprene 
• Elastic rubber lacing with cord stoppers 
• Sole made from natural crepe 

And if you're wondering why the shoe looks already worn in the photos: this is the exact Quince that our Creative Director has been putting to the test for the last two years - it's basically a preview of the patina that the natural materials will develop over time. But your pair will, of course, be brand new and unworn. 

Important: For the release of this shoe, we deicded to try something new and offer a pre-order. You can order your Quince now, and as soon as the pre-order period ends (4 weeks), you will be notified and the pair of shoes will be made directly for you. Your shoe is expected to be ready in the run-up to Christmas.This way, you're guaranteed to get your desired size, and we can avoid over- or underproduction - both of which put unnecessary strain on the environment, even under our fair production conditions. Let's make the launch of this shoe a sustainable win-win together. Thank you for your support!
