Inspired by a traditional Japanese shoe design developed in 15th-century Japan to support balance and natural movement. Originally worn by artisans and performers with flat sandals, the form was built around the body in order to be functional, restrained, and precise.
The Split reworks that silhouette into a modern Mary Jane. The proportions are softened, the leather refined, and the comfort unmatched.This model of The Split introduces a distinctive strap detail, adding a subtle point of interest to the silhouette. What was once purely utilitarian becomes a versatile, shiftable piece it adapts easily from day to night, from understated to expressive. It moves with the outfit, adding its own quiet presence every time. Whether styled basic or dressed up, The Split does the work.
A historic form, redesigned for now.
