World Footwear: new issue out now
Welcome to 2024 and to the first World Footwear of the year. Articles this time include comprehensive reviews of the performance of the sector last year, and of the industry’s most important 2023 event, the UITIC Congress in northern Italy.
In Athletic and Outdoor, we look into adidas’s achievement in reducing shoe-weight by 40%, with headline-grabbing consequences for athletes.
The Safety and Work Shoes section provides our cover story this time, with the inspiring story of by-women-for-women boot brand Juno Jones.
Lastly, in Business of Footwear, we look in depth at the “radical transparency” of Sebago’s recent joint project with NN07, at the slippers with social conscience initiative that Vivobarefoot is backing in Mongolia, and at Le 19 M, a special space in Paris dedicated to handmade excellence.
We hope you enjoy reading all the articles.
