Never heard of them but their shoes look shit house so no biggie.
They're a company that made environmentally sustainable shoes out of wool and eucalyptus gum. The looks were never really the main selling point, but I've been buying from them for a few years now and I always liked them, very comfortable and I like the simple style. Unfortunate that I'm now going to have to find an alternative.
And then they decide to use AI to generate new designs... Do they know how AI runs?
They're not generating new designs, they are no longer a shoe company and now run AI.
