Founded in a reunited Berlin in 1991 by Angela Spieth and Michael Oehler, Trippen translates a vision of sustainability and social responsibility into avant-garde footwear. The brand emerged from a desire to create shoes differently, focusing on designs where individual components could be exchanged and repaired. This philosophy resulted in a unique aesthetic characterized by unconventional, sculptural silhouettes and creative pattern techniques, earning Trippen an international cult following. The core of the brand's design process involves an interplay between restraint and creativity; a limited number of comfortable, ergonomic rubber sole styles provide the foundation for limitless creativity in the leather uppers.
