Cup Sole
Historic ZEHA sports shoe designs
crafted from premium vegetable-tanned leather
with a newly developed, stitched cup sole
From the Sports Hall to the Street
The Cup Sole Collection revisits historic ZEHA indoor, training and sports shoe designs and develops their constructions for everyday wear today.
Premium vegetable-tanned calfskin meets a flexible
Strobel construction and a specially developed cup sole
made from vulcanised rubber.
The result is a collection of substantial leather shoes
with a surprisingly soft, flexible and agile feel.
Turner
The “Turner” is based on ZEHA training and indoor sports shoes
from the late 1960s and early 1970s. As a low-top, it is the
most pared-back and agile model in the Cup Sole Collection.
Compared with the “Trainer”, its construction is lower and
lighter. Stable reinforcements provide support, while the
flexible Strobel construction and stitched cup sole create
an exceptionally soft and flexible feel.
Trainer
The “Trainer” is based on ZEHA indoor and volleyball shoes
from the 1970s. Its high-top construction combines the
agility of a sports shoe with additional support around
the ankle.
A padded collar and stable reinforcements provide support
and guidance. At the same time, the flexible Strobel
construction and stitched cup sole give the shoe a soft,
cushioned and agile feel.
Basketballer
The “Basketballer” is based on classic ZEHA indoor,
handball and volleyball shoes and is the most distinctive
high-top model in the Cup Sole Collection.
The ankle-high upper wraps more closely around the foot
than the lower-cut models, providing additional support
and guidance. At the same time, the flexible Strobel
construction and softly rolling cup sole keep the shoe
agile and comfortable.
Rekord
The “Rekord” traces its origins to ZEHA throwing shoes
from the 1960s. Its distinctive leather stripes follow the
functional reinforcements of the historic sports shoe,
providing additional stability and guidance for the foot.
As a low-cut sports shoe, the “Rekord” combines a close,
precise fit with the soft and flexible feel of today’s
Strobel and cup sole construction.
