News | We Are Underdogs

A collaborative effort between WAU and Joseph Andrews that became a reality due to unique visionary alignment and the passion to create. 

The WAU Meraki One Collection’s unique take on a classic silhouette came to life thanks to our shared love for the underdog concept. 

Even though the brand is not from the USA, the vast majority of our designers and supporters is.

So we want to join the celebration and commemorate this date with you. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

This is the first of two styles designed by Joey Khamis to be released by We Are Underdogs.

Joey Khamis is a footwear designer from Indianapolis, Indiana and top 16 finalist from the Pensole World Sneaker Championship. 

The COMMA by Kaito Choy marked a new era in our brand.

It was the first shoe to be launched, from the beginning, for men’s and women’s. In a gender-neutral approach, we did not do the “pink it” thing.

We had been paying attention to Patrizia Montanari for a while. Her photo shoots were as stunning as her apparel.

In one of the chats with Kaito Choy the idea arose: why shouldn’t we pair Patrizia’s clothing and unique “lens” with the COMMA.

Portugal based independent footwear brand We are Underdogs is happy to announce the “Stroke Low”.

This model is the first signature sneaker by 34-year-old Mexican footwear designer Quetzal Ramos.

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.

We are proud to present Tiago Escada Ramos, one of the founders of Sneakers Love Portugal, a community that promotes sneaker culture in Portugal.

He is the first brand ambassador from the Old Continent.
