Adamas

Adamas is a laceless shoe designed for daily wear in the city. The sole has sharp angular facets inspired by unpolished diamonds, while the soft elastic upper wraps the foot closely. The main materials are synthetic rubber and elastic fabric. Computer analysis was used to define the structure and the required mass of each part of the sole. The sole is formed in one piece, which supports fast production, stable footbeds and less material waste. A support structure extends from the sole to the ankle and holds the upper in place.

The Quswa wholecut was inspired by the historical battle of Badr, represented by hand carved Arabic Calligxraphitti encryption on high grade Italian leather. Designer Que Shebley states "here are 5 version series of the Quswa wholecut as each design released continues the originating encryption as a whole, the encryption signifies one of the most significant moments of the battle".
