News | We Are Underdogs

Everybody is aware of the social mission that our project has when it comes to empowering new designers, opening the doors of the industry to them and allowing them to have their concepts developed, produced and sold. 

The waubscure contest exceeded all our expectations

When Obscure Sneakers and WAU decided to launch this collaboration / contest we never thought we’d have more than 100 contestants!

We like to think that we are not only selling sneakers.

We consider ourselves a creative platform for a reason.

One of the most fulfilling feeling we have is that of seeing that we also contribute to the education of the designers that cooperate with us and of our followers.

 

Sean "Paper Chasr" Williams is the new WAU AMBASSADOR

We teamed up with ITAFLEX to expand the outsoles options for designers. The manufacturer is already making women molds for the rubber cup sole for the next sneakers being launched.

The WAU community is getting stronger. Starting today, ‘Sneaker Steve’ Patiño is our new Ambassador, for believing in this project as a huge push into the aspiring designers’ career.

On the next weeks, fresh concepts of sneakers from aspiring designers are finally going to see the light of day. We are very proud to make this happen with our partner – PENSOLE Footwear Design Academy.
