JUST DON’T, have JUST DROPPED!
Introducing our new foot-friendly high top - a collaboration between Australia’s PaperKrane and LA’s Sprezzatura Culture (Naz from Ned’s Melrose), designed for those who value authenticity and foot health over hype.
With a nod to the iconic 1985 original, this barefoot sneaker captures the classic basketball look while reimagining it for everyday wear. Crafted with light grey and deep black textured suede, and bold red accents, this sneaker offers a street-ready style with the natural benefits of barefoot movement.
Just Don’t. Because barefoot is better for you than any mass-produced shoe out there. Designed in Australia and crafted from sustainable, pure leather hides, these shoes offer quality and comfort beyond the ordinary. Break away from fast fashion and choose a shoe made with purpose.
Why Barefoot for Off-Court Performance?
• Strengthen Your Foundation: Wearing barefoot shoes off-court promotes natural foot mechanics and builds strength in muscles that traditional shoes often inhibit. Studies show that training in minimalist footwear strengthens foot and ankle stability, supporting better performance on the court by creating a solid base.
• Enhanced Balance & Agility: Barefoot shoes improve sensory feedback, allowing you to feel the ground beneath you. This feedback enhances balance and coordination, crucial skills in sports like basketball, where agility makes all the difference.
• Natural Gait & Injury Prevention: With a flexible, thin sole, the 1985 encourages a natural gait, which can prevent injuries by distributing impact more effectively across the foot. This barefoot-style gait can reduce heel-strike impact, a common cause of stress injuries in traditional shoes.
While this barefoot shoe isn’t designed for the court, it’s the perfect off-court choice to support a healthier, stronger, and more resilient foundation. Pair them with your performance sneakers to maximise your game and embrace natural movement when you’re off the clock.
This isn’t just a sneaker—it’s a statement. Do your own thing. Choose the best for your body with ethically crafted, long-lasting materials. Just Don’t buy into the hype.
