COMMA II VOID

The most minimal and tonal approach on the COMMA till now.

Kaito Choy follows up, after the ASH, with the COMMA II VOID.

"The emptiness of the VOID"

Premium deep black matte rubberized nubuck upper paired with tonal natural rubber outsole inspired by the emptiness of the VOID.

Premium waxed cotton laces in black for an absolute lack of contrast.

COMMA II ASH

In collaboration with the Chicago based industrial designer, Kaito Choy, WAU releases the 3rd colorway of the COMMA.

This CW came along with a minor detail change, taking minimalism to an extreme, reflecting the designer’s influence and vision.

The braided laces of the OG colorways were substituted by premium waxed cotton laces, allowing a smoother lacing and unlacing.

This new colorway, ASH, features premium charcoal textured suede upper paired with tonal natural rubber outsole inspired by the rich texture and depth of ash. The premium waxed cotton laces come in light grey, for a touch of contrast.

WE ARE UNDERDOGS

'THE UNDERDOG IS THE UNEXPECTED WINNER OF AN UNEQUAL FIGHT'

We Are Underdogs is a creative platform with a mission to bring to life new concepts of sneakers from young talented designers with a fresh approach.

Many interesting styles from thousands of aspiring designers never see the light of day - only a few actually make it onto the production line. As a new sneakers brand, our purpose is to change that.

Every month, we launch a new style from a different designer. The styles are produced in exclusive and limited editions and include a note from the designer. All sneakers are handcrafted by Portuguese shoemakers.

​These are real signature designer sneakers.

Sneakers with a face and with a cause!
