The Spark Collection - inspired by who sparks the positive change
The Spark timeless sneakers model was designed for those who motivate and inspire others, ignite enthusiasm or creativity, initiate action or serve as a catalyst for positive change.
The Spark is a person who possesses a unique and powerful ability to motivate and inspire those around them. They serve as catalysts of positive energy, igniting enthusiasm and inspiring others through their excitement, vision, and passion.
Whether in personal relationships, professional settings, or community initiatives, the Spark plays a crucial role in initiating action and fostering an environment where great ideas can flourish.
People who embody the Spark have a natural charisma that draws others in. They are not just dreamers but achievers, turning aspirations into reality. Their optimism and belief in accomplishing their goals are infectious, encouraging those around them to push beyond their limits and face their challenges confidently.
They see potential where others might see obstacles, empowering others to adopt a similar mindset. Their impact isn’t limited to sparking initial action but also about sustaining it, ensuring that the energy they ignite continues to burn brightly.
The Spark is often at the forefront of new projects, unafraid to take risks or venture into uncharted territory. Their presence in a team or group can transform the dynamics, turning a stagnant or complacent atmosphere into one of growth and momentum.
They are skilled at acknowledging the strengths and talents of others. Also, they are adept at bringing these qualities to the forefront, creating a synergy that drives collective success.

The Sonder Collection - inspired by the authentic and unique people
The Sonder sneakers model was inspired by those who are authentic, special, and unique and aware that everyone around has their own existence/essence.
We felt that the authenticity and humane characteristics of the sonders were the embodiment of our values and mission, hence why we decided to name our first model after them.
A Sonder is a special kind of person aware that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as their own. This allows the Sonder to have an increased sense of empathy and compassion for others, perceiving others’ emotions, thoughts, and feelings to be as important as their own.
Essentially, the sonder is conscious of the diversity and complexity of the human experience, which contemplates with awe.
We believe in a society that is more mindful of its interconnectedness and the common potential we have as one to accomplish great things.

The Misfit Collection - inspired by the unconventional and original people
This gender-neutral sneakers collection was inspired by those whose behaviour or attitude sets them apart from others in an uncomfortably conspicuous way.
A misfit often feels out of place in conventional settings as their personality is often a blend of originality and nonconformity.
Misfits are independent thinkers, often questioning societal norms and embracing fresh and unconventional ideas. This independence can make them appear rebellious or stubborn, as they are not easily swayed by popular opinion or trends.
Creativity is another key trait of the misfit. They tend to view the world differently than most people, leading them to have an original and visionary standpoint.
Despite this, they possess a strong sense of self-awareness and a desire for authenticity in their interactions with their environment.
Empathy and sensitivity can also be prominent traits in misfits, as their outsider perspective allows them to understand and relate to others who feel marginalised or isolated.
Ultimately, a misfit’s individuality can make them both intriguing and complex characters as they are known for navigating life on their own terms.
Wayz Misfit model has a distinguishing asymmetric upper to reflect the identity it was named after. We intend to create a humanistic footprint, cultivate diversity and encourage people to live a more authentic and zestful life.

The Hedonist Collection - inspired by the pleasure-seekers
The hedonist timeless sneakers model was designed for the pleasure-seekers.
A hedonist is someone who is driven by a desire to experience life's pleasures to the fullest, whether through sensory experiences or the pursuit of passions.
This focus on enjoyment makes hedonists remarkably spontaneous and adventurous, as they are eager to seek out new experiences that satisfy them.
Hedonists tend to be charismatic and sociable, enjoying the company of others who share their zest for life.
They often have an optimistic outlook, believing in the importance of living in the moment and making the most of each day. This makes them fun to be around, as they bring energy and enthusiasm to their social environment.
Overall, a hedonist embraces life with a sense of exuberance and a commitment to finding happiness and pleasure in every moment, often valuing personal freedom and experiences above conventional norms or obligations.
We envisioned our Hedonist model with a minimalistic, sustainable approach in mind. This gender-neutral sneakers model was designed with simple lines and colour combinations to enhance its versatility. It makes them a thoughtful addition to your wardrobe as they are an excellent option for casual and formal social settings.
