Welcome to NAAW
Every NAAW begins on a loom or in a hand, not on a machine floor.
A running stitch that once mended cloth, now traced across the upper.
Metallic thread worked into the panel, the way it is worked into a wedding sari.
Counted-thread geometry, worked so it reads the same on either face.
Shadow work in white on white, six centuries in the making.
Tap the size you normally wear. We will convert it for this sneaker's own fit.
Don't know your usual size?
You can always pick a different size yourself.
Reading your foot against the sheet.
Tap the first corner of your bank card.
Show us what you are wearing and we will name the pair — and the colour — that works with it.
What are you wearing? (optional)
Your photo is read on your phone and never uploaded.
Choose the colour. Choose the craft. Make it yours.
How the upper is cut. The silhouette and the sole never change — only where the seams fall.
Tap a part on the shoe, or pick one here, then give it a colour or an Indian cloth.
One sole, one shape. The midsole stays white on every NAAW; the strip that meets the ground is yours.
Tell us what you want on your sneaker.
If you can imagine it, we will work on it. A person reads every request before anything is cut. If a cloth cannot be worked on a shoe we will say so before we make it, and either find the closest thing that works or return your money in full.
