Areni 1 Footwear is launching for the first time on Kickstarter. Incorporating ancient and historic motifs into their shoes, Areni one plans to break the mold and bring back handcrafted footwear Areni 1 Footwear represents honest craftsmanship, bold design, and the celebration of culture. Handmade in Armenia by a tight knit team of 40 craftsmen, each pair of Areni 1’s is brought to life with passion. Our team of designers, craftsmen, and footwear enthusiasts brought to life a product that marries form and function seamlessly. Areni 1 stands apart as a modern shoe made the old fashioned way: the ultimate combination of modern high fashion, historical symbolism, and ancient shoemaking methods. From Armenia with Love. It all started here: 5,500 years ago in the Areni 1 Cave, the world’s oldest leather shoe was made. We’ve kept this tradition through- out the millennia, and today we celebrate each step by weaving ancient inspirations into our designs. It’s what gives us a truly unique aesthetic. Materials that Make a Difference. We use only the finest Italian leathers and PTU soles (outlasts rubber 5 to 1) to guarantee unwavering quality. Each shoe is produced individually and is meticulously inspected for a superior feel and peerless durability. Shoes for the Thinker. It matters what we wear. Major brands mass produce shoes with sub-par materials in dehumanizing factories. We’re here to disrupt this standard, we’re here to glorify craftsmanship, and we’re here to celebrate design innovation. Areni 1 strives to bring craftsmanship from the Armenian heartland to the world. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Kickstarter campaign on October 1st. Our Backers will enjoy huge discounts on both models. For more information, come visit us at areni1.store or follow us on social media. @areni1footwear
