onwuad

Australian footwear brand ONWUAD was launched by creative director Rob Maniscalco, a designer with over two decades of experience in the luxury and sports sectors, including collaborations with Raf Simons. The brand specializes in unisex sandals and footwear that fuse a contemporary fashion style with the functional performance of technical outdoor gear. At the core of its design is a proprietary sole and ergonomic footbed, developed over four years to provide durability, comfort, and support. ONWUAD emphasizes premium craftsmanship and responsible materials, offering vegan options and utilizing a signature injected TPR sole that is both recyclable and more durable than standard rubber. The brand's designs have been seen on figures like A$AP Rocky, reflecting its position between high-fashion and utilitarian streetwear.
