The Untamed Spaces of the World

Silvestre is designed to enable the user to move without effort between urban environments and the wild. It has all the technical features of a top-of-the-line light trekking shoe but challenges the conventions of traditional outdoor aesthetics. The word silvestre means “of the woods” or “of the wild” and this collaboration hopes to inspire people to explore the deeper, more untamed spaces of our world.
