ROA SNEAKERS
Italian label ROA hit the fashion scene running in 2015, gaining a dedicated following among gorpcore enthusiasts for its high-tech footwear. The brand’s stated “hybrid attitude toward the landscape” is realized in its functional crossover designs that combine cutting-edge technical innovations with the latest styles. Its wardrobe comprises sneakers and boots in distinct avant-garde silhouettes made from resilient layers of water-repellent textiles, kudu skin panels, and grippy Vibram soles alongside activewear like thermal base layers and weatherproof shells. Select seasonal colors find their origin in the outdoors, with natural shades that resemble rust, sand, chicory coffee, and sage. Peak performance is presented with an urban sensibility in ROA’s boundary-pushing output.
