What it is?
For those who like a crisp white shoe with a deep rich pop of black. Be unapologetically bold. The MBs are inspired by the 80’s basketball sneakers that helped countless Asian-Americans dress in a way that reflected their attitude! This sneaker is the perfect blend of “chunk” and style, crafted with the finest leather and natural rubber in the world. Don’t hold back when you are rocking the MBs – these durable kicks get more comfortable over time and will keep you looking good for years. The name is a shout out to Morro Bay (in California), the landing spot for the first Asian Americans in North America back in 1587!
Key Benefits
- Full Grain Italian Leather: Our luxury leather is the best in the world. It is extremely soft and doesn’t need to use plastic paints to cover up imperfections. Unlike cheaper leathers it won’t crack, or lose its shape. Our leather will mold to the shape of your feet over time, providing that custom fit and enhanced comfort. The durability of genuine leather means these are built to last.
- Goodbye Creasing: While all sneakers will crease, our does the minimal amount possible. We tested 100s of different leathers and backers, and found some that provide extreme comfort without extreme creasing. These keep the FOB (fresh out of the box) look!
- Natural Rubber Bottom: Our 100% biodegradable natural rubber is extremely soft while maintaining its shape. It’s like you’re walking on a cloud
- Waxed Laces: We know how important it is to look fresh…nobody wants dirty laces. So, we took the extra step of waxing our laces to keep them looking clean for longer. If they ever get dirty, let us know and we’ll send you a new pair.
- Calf Leather Interior Lining: The inside of the shoe is covered in supple calf leather for an amazing feel, and lifetime of comfort and good smells. So cheap cloth that absorbs smells!
- Unapologetically Asian American: We are Asian. We are Asian American. As good as our shoes look and feel, when we’re inside, we leave our shoes at the door. That’s how we were raised.
