The Larch combines the familiar with the modern. Aesthetics from the first sneaker era combined with a new design language create a sneaker with timeless style. The shoe was inspired by the concept of retrofuturism, which focuses on the image of the future that prevailed in the past and how we see it today.

Based on this principle, the idea was born to take various elements of old sneakers and modify them to create a new, modern design language. The result is remarkable, as since the first release of the Larch, the shoe has become an absolute ekn classic and an essential part of all collections.
