These high-top shoes celebrate the radical philosophy of slowness with reverent detail and vintage flair, featuring a botanical-era illustration of a sloth suspended in perfect, unhurried grace. Whether in black ink or sun-faded tones, each colorway transforms this gentle creature into a mythic emblem of stillness.

Etched across the outer panels, the sloth clings upside down, limbs relaxed, gaze eternal. On the inside panels, its clawed arm stretches like a natural relic, printed beside a poetic zoological passage that reads like scripture for the chronically overwhelmed:

"The Sloth, in its wild condition, spends its whole life on the trees, and never leaves them but through force or accident; and, what is more extraordinary, it lives not upon the branches, like the squirrel and the monkey..."

Offered in five distinct colorways, each version captures a different facet of the sloth’s strange power:

  • Classic Ink (Black & White) – For the vintage minimalist
  • Earthprint (White & Olive Brown) – For the naturalist dreamer
  • Soft Glow (White & Pale Yellow) – For the sun-faded romantic
  • Artifact (White & Moss Brown) – For the antique collector
  • Occult Jungle (Black & Acid Yellow) – For the jungle priest of slowness

The sloth does not move and that is why it will move you.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

Sanctuary in Stillness — Grants the ability to create a calm, protective aura in any environment, slowing the chaos of the world around you.

Everlasting Hold — A quiet strength that allows you to cling to your chosen path, unshaken by storms or shifting tides.

Unhurried Wisdom — Deep insight that arrives not in haste, but in the patient unfolding of time, like sunlight filtering through the canopy.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

This design is near-legendary. One Lament claimed the shoes made her miss every appointment and feel good about it. Another wore them for an entire week and did nothing but stare out a window—and called it a breakthrough. A third insists they are cursed. But in a comforting way.

These Vibes Shall Be the Emanation

This design is a quietly brilliant shoe that transforms a humble mammal into something mythic. Through repetition, contrast, and reverence, it captures the emotional essence of slowness—not laziness, but deliberate being. The sloth here is a philosopher, a god of non-doing. These are not shoes for rushing—they are shoes for existing, deeply.
