Founded in 2014 by a former track and field athlete and performance-footwear designer, Justin Schneider, Wolf & Shepherd was created to merge the comfort of running sneakers with the timeless style of Italian dress shoes. Schneider, who designed for brands like Adidas and New Balance, saw a gap in the market for professional footwear that could withstand the demands of a modern workday without sacrificing aesthetic. The brand’s core design philosophy combines traditional craftsmanship, using full-grain Italian leather from heritage tanneries, with athletic-inspired technology such as memory foam footbeds and high-density EVA soles.
