VOR Shoes - Handcrafted in Germany

German based brand VOR makes shoes. But quality is what they stand for in the first place.

Before finalising the design of a sneaker, they ask themselves questions like “Which profile is most suitable?”, "How does the sole smell?” and “How many different shades of white are available?”. Questions more brands in the footwear industry should ask themselves instead of randomly dropping new pairs of sneakers (mostly produced under horrible circumstances) on a daily basis.

Some call it old school but to Andreas Klingseisen and Jörg Rohwer-Kahlmann, handcrafted items are an expression of the modern consumer’s demands regarding a product’s origin and we couldn't agree more. Their shoes are manufactured in southern Germany, where they can control 100% of the production process and their minimalist aesthetic makes it hard not to like. 
Their shoes are not trendy, but timeless - something every brand should aim for.

Make sure to check out their full range of outstanding products on their website.
