We hear about new board brands popping up all the time, but new shoe brands? Like many others, sneaker lover Jan Sabieraj has always dreamt of designing his own skate shoes. And guess what? He actually did! Function, style, sustainability and protection for feet and joints… That’s what Jan’s aiming for with his shoes. But in the end, the main idea behind the revival of former clothing/board brand Hifish Network was not only to make a product, but also to get a bunch of old friends back together, who are living spread out all over Germany/Europe – namely Kai Boblenz, Kijan Ghanavati, Lorenz Frey, Marco Wolf, Totti Herrmann and masterlensman Frederick Schneider. So, for their first video project (as a shoe brand) them boys went back to where it all started: the city of Reutlingen.

Jan’s a professional tattoo artist, so he’s used to starting things off from scratch. Pretty gnarly when it comes to shoes, though – from drawing each and every feature to getting in touch with factories to receiving first samples to actually producing them… „From the locals for the locals!“ That’s the kind of DIY spirit we like. Big up Jan and everyone involved!
