revive a pair of classic czechoslovakia sneakers

the super special trampky (sneakers) were born in the central modeling department of the former czechoslovakia in 1951. when mariel and hristo, founders of the “super special sneakers” brand, came across the technical drawing of the iconic shoes in an old factory, they decided to bring them back to life. the company ensures that the shoe’s nostalgic design is still produced on one of the oldest sneaker production lines and features the same great selection of materials. Older than most mainstream brands, the resurrected “super special sneakers” are now celebrating their 70th anniversary with a new model.

a timeless design that evokes memories

the shoes’ distinctive vulcanized outsole is paired with a minimalist upper on the low top urban 1.0 model celebrating a simple yet classic design that ‘builds bridges, breaks down boundaries and proves timeless’ as the Brand mention. Enhanced with modern features, the sneakers still evoke memories of the past. Raised from the dust, they are a classic piece of European sneaker history that outlasts its time and function.
