The idea behind @kastelshoes is that they want to provide shoes that give you the possibility to move freely in any weather condition and almost any occasion. If one pair of shoes can solve more problems, you don’t need to buy as many of them, plain and simple. @kastelshoes they feel shoes today are too overengineered and covered in plastic. They want to bring a more natural and minimalistic approach to functional footwear. To do this they must reduce the unnecessary from the shoes and make them possible to repair and maintain. Some of their styles they have reduced from 31 to 11 components. That means less consumption, waste and fewer factories to control. They also want to treat their value chain with the same “strip down and rethink” approach. Moving forward they will challenge every step of the value chain with projects like local, on-demand production, on-demand coloring and modular and repairable shoes. #kastelshoes #oslrw #oslorunway #norwegiandesign #lifestyle
