We are PÁR

PÁR (pair, couple, match or few in Czech) balances between city and nature, technology and tradition. It connects everything we enjoy and are surrounded by – from music and art, to design, architecture and our travel experiences. PÁR is a responsible local brand from Prague that we would love to discover and follow ourselves.

PÁR is based on friendly cooperation and sharing of know-how. Thus we created PÁR sneakers together with the respected Czech shoe designer Eliška Horčíková (long-time member of the Camper Lab design team). They are designed to be as comfortable as possible using a minimum of material and construction elements. And to make them look different. Because why else come up with yet another sneaker brand? On the collection of accompanying products PÁR stuff we continuously cooperate with various other Czech authors, brands and manufacturers.

 

Two are greater than one

PÁR is created by the two of us, Jan Kloss and Darina Zavadilová. In the field of design and fashion, we have long been active in a number of activities, such as the creative group OKOLO, the streetwear brand Rap or the designSUPERMARKET festival. In addition, we have more than a decade of experience with the BOTAS 66 project. The lifestyle label based on the history of the traditional Czech footwear brand Botas we created as students (Jan Kloss together with Jakub Korouš) and we later distributed it all over the world through our own stores in the center of Prague.

PÁR SNEAKERS POINTS

  • True shoes

    The combination of a soft and flexible upper, which refers to the traditional moccasin construction, with dynamically shaped sneakers outsole creates a visually unorthodox silhouette and unique character. There is no excess detail on them: every structural element is intentionally revealed, contributing to the timeless functional aesthetics. Such minimalism, which is not just a matter of style but of the whole concept and approach to production and consumption, permeates the entire PÁR label.

  • Premium materials

    PÁR sneakers are crafted from carefully selected natural leathers sourced from EU suppliers certified by Leather Working Group (LWG) at the Gold standard for responsible production. Recently, we have also introduced models made from high-tech nonwoven textiles originating from Japan. For us, the choice of materials focuses primarily on functionality, durability, ease of maintenance, and how they age over time. Some models are crafted without lining, further enhancing the natural properties of the material.

  • Natural ergonomic comfort

    The leather upper is embedded into an unexpectedly lightweight sole made of microporous foam, which is slightly shaped on the top side. This makes the shoes naturally comfortable right from the day 1. They are ergonomic and also help to walk correctly.

  • Local production

    PÁR sneakers are handmade in a traditional shoe-making area in Portugal, where we draw primarily on the availability of the latest technologies and years of experience.

  • Unisex uniage unistyle

    PÁR sneakers are gender-neutral and they are manufactured in a complete size range from EU 36 to EU 47. They are maximally timeless, avoiding trends and seasonal collections. No matter what age or opportunity it is, but how one feels and dares. They will create an outfit for both a rock concert and a red carpet.

  • Soles with soul

    We are based in Prague, a city we proudly inscribed on the bottoms of PÁR sneakers: A functional, densely structured network of lines contrasts with the minimalist silhouette of the shoes. These lines feature original illustrations by renowned Czech graphic designers Jan Kloss and Matěj Činčera, depicting the landmarks of Prague and the Czech landscape—not only its natural beauty but also its urban character.

  • PÁR and sustainability

    We focus on making shoes with as much responsibility as possible. We ensure that the majority of our materials and components come from certified EU suppliers, adhering to the strictest standards of quality and production while minimizing the need for global transportation. In everything we do—whether it’s the products themselves, their packaging, or the interiors of our stores—we embrace minimalism, strive for zero-waste, and aim to simplify logistics wherever possible. Above all, our main goal is to provide a product that lasts and continues to bring joy to its wearer for years to come.
