A new collaborative footwear project with Obra.
OBRA is a footwear brand focused on premium utilitarian comfort.
IN BRAZIL OBRA MEANS CONSTRUCTION WORK OR WORK OF ART
Co-founded by longtime friends Dave Cory and Arnaud Delecolle, OBRA is the sum of their extensive experience in the footwear, manufacturing and global fashion industry, coupled with the desire to do better.
OBRA reflects our co-founders’ belief that a footwear company can be profitable and socially responsible without compromising aesthetics.
OBRA is rooted in downtown New York and manufactured in Southern Brazil, in a family-held factory with over 75 years of footwear tradition.
