Murphy&Nye and Vibram: between nautical heritage and high-tech

OPTIMIST is the sneaker inspired by the nautical world. Its clean and contemporary aesthetic hides a technical and functional soul. The upper combines premium suede and technical Ripstop, materials chosen to offer softness and protection without sacrificing lightness and resistance even in the most dynamic conditions. The elastic lace with stopper makes it easy and practical to put on, while the silver-finish eyelets add a distinctive nautical touch. Completing the shoe is the high-grip Vibram rubber sole, which guarantees performance and safety on any surface.

DECK, on the other hand, is a new interpretation of a timeless icon, the classic boat shoe, combining the elegance of the nautical world with a modern, technical and functional soul. Inspired by the deck of a boat, the shoe features a sophisticated upper that blends premium suede and technical Ripstop: a combination of softness and resistance, traditional craftsmanship and technology. The double laces are reminiscent of mooring ropes, while the silver-finish eyelets add a touch of contemporary sparkle. The Vibram rubber sole, designed exclusively to guarantee grip and traction on even the most treacherous surfaces, makes all the difference.
